"Nature": Scientists have developed an intelligent cancer "pathologist" in 2021

Physical examination, imaging examination, endoscopy, and laboratory molecular testing can show abnormalities in the body.

The diseased tissue is removed from the patient by cutting, forceps or puncture.

In a new study, Associate Professors Belinda S.

The relevant research results will be published in the journal Nature on October 7, 2021

Professor Abbey has developed this technology with co-inventor Dr.

Even with staining or marking, it is still challenging for pathologists to detect cancer cells, and some samples may be misdiagnosed, especially in the very early stages of the disease

In this new study, Professor Abbey's team and Associate Professor Parker's team tried to use this new technology called NanoMslide as an auxiliary method for diagnosing early breast cancer

Associate Professor Parker said that the current technology is difficult to distinguish between early forms of breast cancer and benign lesions, especially when there are not many abnormally shaped cells in complex tissues

Associate Professor Parker said: “When I observed tissues under the microscope of NanoMslide for the first time, I was very excited

Associate Professor Parker believes that NanoMslide will complement the existing stains currently in use to achieve a more consistent cancer diagnosis

Professor Abbey's team developed their glass slide technology using open access equipment and expertise provided by the Melbourne Nanomanufacturing Centre

The team will work with the Melbourne Nanomanufacturing Centre and the Australian National Manufacturing Facility (ANFF) network to begin mass production of their slides to enter the market and solve a wide range of medical and non-medical imaging problems

Professor John Dewar AO, Vice-Chancellor of La Trobe University, said that the invention of NanoMslide and its application in improving cancer diagnosis highlights the important role of universities such as La Trobe University in scientific research and innovation, which can enhance the power of life

Professor Dewar said: “As this outstanding invention transforms from an outstanding concept to a potentially life-saving solution, La Trobe University has proven that when outstanding research innovation is combined with a strong industry partner, it It can be achieved
