University of Bath spinout launched to improve lung cancer treatment 🫁🔍 Prothea Technologies, a new spinout company from the University of Bath and The University of Edinburgh, has launched aiming to enable lung cancer biopsy and treatment in a single visit. The firm has attracted £10.3 million of investment as it looks to develop a device which can quickly diagnose lung cancer lesions. This device uses a combined endoscope and image-processing system capable of examining the molecular structure of lung lesions. The team is also looking into a laser-ablation catheter to treat lesions immediately after diagnosis, reducing time-to-treatment from weeks to minutes.

#CancerMedicine | 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 | Researchers at the University of Zurich and the University Hospital Zurich, led by Professor Panagiotis Balermpas, have developed an innovative blood test to enhance cancer treatments. This novel liquid biopsy method analyzes DNA fragments in the bloodstream to determine tumor activity, distinguishing between less and more aggressive metastatic cancer. The research team tested their groundbreaking method on patients undergoing radiotherapy, including several HPV-positive individuals. They discovered that higher concentrations of HPV DNA in the blood might signal early cancer recurrence, especially for head and neck cancers. This discovery is crucial as it allows for a personalized assessment of therapy benefits and risks while enabling regular monitoring of treatment success, leading to more tailored and effective cancer treatments. 👉 Learn more >> https://lnkd.in/gtzQNx-G 👉 Original publication >> https://lnkd.in/gMPdP7a3 Photo: iStock/mrfiza 🇨🇭 Follow #ScienceSwitzerland for the latest news and emerging trends on Swiss science, technology, education, and innovation >> www.swissinnovation.org Follow us >> Science-Switzerland #Science | #Education | #Research | #Innovation

💡 𝗟𝟭𝗖𝗔𝗠 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀? According to the seed and soil theory, also known as the Paget’s hypothesis, the 𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗧𝗠𝗘) plays a key role in promoting the onset and progression of cancer. There are numerous molecules that confer 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 to the cells of the TME. The aim of this study was to analyze in a series of colorectal cancers the expression of the 𝗟𝟭 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗲 (𝗟𝟭𝗖𝗔𝗠) in the cells of the TME, in order to better clarify the role of these cells in 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 (𝗖𝗥𝗖) onset and progression. The results obtained from this work suggest that the study of L1CAM expression in the peritumoral infiltrating cells in CRC patients could represent a valid tool able to stratify these patients regarding the possible occurrence of #metastasis and recurrence. 🔗 Access the full study: https://lnkd.in/dC5Zhx-Z EIC Prof. Antonio Giordano - Sbarro Health Research Organization & 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 - AUSL Reggio Emilia Executive Ed.
