For those who have received radiation treatment. This is a way to keep an eye on secondary cancer.
Does anyone know generally how long it takes to start generating secondary cancer?
Nanoparticle urine test diagnoses cancer and pinpoints its location
The method by which the nanoparticles detect cancer is quite clever. To escape their point of origin and spread throughout the body, many cancers use enzymes called proteases which slice through proteins in the extracellular matrix.
The diagnostic nanoparticles are coated in peptides that can also be cut up by these proteases, so if there are tumors present somewhere, the nanoparticles will bear the scars of their encounters by the time they reach the urine.
