Developing a cancer diagnostics system: Towards on-site multi purpose gadgetry

摘要

In this study, we validated the performance of PESI-MS-based diagnosis system. When analyzing the human cancers, we could obtain diagnostic outcome paralleled with pathohistological diagnosis. Furthermore, we confirmed the usefulness of modified-PESI system to living animal in situ. By using this machine, we will perform direct measurements on human body during surgical intervention. These results collectively show the possibility of future application of PESI-MS as an on-site diagnosis system in humans.
