This technology will make it easier for us to screen suspicious lesions in the mouth and separate non-cancerous lesions from those where there is a risk of cancer and those where cancer has already developed, saysMartin Thornhill, professor of oral medicine at theUniversity of Sheffieldwho leads the research team. Ultimately, dentists and doctors may be able to use this technology to check suspicious lesions in the mouth and reassure the vast majority of patients that they havent got cancer without even having to send them to the hospital.

With this new system, a disposable brush is used to painlessly remove a few cells from the lining of the mouth and the cells are then brushed on the chip. Once inserted into the battery-powered analyzoral lesions Scientists to develop nanochip to detect oral cancerer, the cells pass through mini-fluidic channels and come in contact with biomarkers that react only with specific types of diseased cells. Healthy and diseases cells are then distinguishable based on the way they glow under the LabNow analyzers twoLEDs.
