Scientists have created a device that is able to detect cervical cancer

An innovative device can detect cervical cancer at an early stage of the disease, according to the BBC. Preliminary results have shown that, perhaps thanks to this device can perform operations of high precision and not to a hysterectomy, in which the woman to fall back again completely removed in the womb and it can not have more children, the researchers reported. Scientists believe that this procedure the patient to retain the possibility of reproduction. A detailed description of the diagnosis with the new device is presented in the journal Radiology. According to Professor Nandita deSouza from the Institute of Cancer Research, the information received is a device that can be used, not to radical surgical techniques apply, and keep as much of cancer can be. The preliminary study involved 59 women with cervical cancer at age 24 to 83 years. The results were very promising, as it managed to find the exact location of the tumor in 88% of cases with a new device, compared to 77% in the search for the old method. Scientists plan to conduct larger studies to confirm the results.
