A group of Scottish scientists have developed a completely new method for diagnosing prostate cancer in men, which can not only accurately, but also cheaply assess the extent of the disease.. This is reported by the information portal VladTime.

Specialists from the University of Dundee informed that they had invented a new method for diagnosing oncology of the representative gland, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Ultrasonic method called shear wave elastography (SWE). New method reportedly aims to sidestep problems by targeting the prostate with ultrasound. Cancer tissue is stiffer than normal tissue so shear waves slow down as they pass through the tumor.

“We were able to demonstrate dramatic differences in diagnostic results between our technology and existing methods such as MRI.. This technique revealed cancers that were not detected on MRI.. Now we can see with much greater accuracy which tissue is cancerous, where it is and what treatment it needs.. This is a significant step forward,” said Professor Ghulam Nabi.
