Mama, mammography that "comes" before the evil

The European Union has funded a study to mother, a new device for the prevention of breast cancer that is based on a molecular imaging, in practice with this new control method will give a better view of the disease at the earliest stage, before lesions appear. Mom will be more then a weapon for the early diagnosis because it sees the diseased cells before showing the classic symptoms of the disease.

The Spanish National Council for Research (CSIC) explained how mothers and possible uses, primarily in early diagnosis remains the most important thing and then be able to see through this test, proceed as treatment and chemotherapy. Mammograms are based on traditional morphological changes of the mammary gland, X-ray device with Mammano is based on the technique of positron emission tomography (PET), which measures the metabolic activity of the tumor localizing the high absorption of glucose by cancer cells.

So you can see the cells even before they have begun to cause injuries. Doctors who are working on the device mothers have said: "This allows specialists to detect the disease much earlier, a development that will be welcomed by those who suffer, the research conducted so far confirm that early detection reduces mortality by 29 percent ".

We hope that this device will soon come also to us and in our hospitals.
