What kind of cancer test paper was first used for detection?

20 13 years, an American boy 15 years old, Jack? Andraca invented a detection method for early pancreatic cancer, which can make pancreatic cancer, the king of cancer, give an "alarm" when it is still in its infancy. Jack uses the method of measuring the content of "mesothelin" in human blood-"mesothelin" is a common biological indicator in blood and urine of patients with early pancreatic cancer.

This invention won Jack the annual American Youth Achievement and Creativity Award of Smithsonian Institution Magazine and the highest prize of Intel International Science and Engineering Competition 20 12, and he also won a scholarship of 75,000 US dollars (about 468,000 yuan). At present, Jack has applied for a patent for his invention, and plans to carry out mass production, so that it can serve the public as soon as possible.

Working principle of cancer test paper

Jack made a special material with mesothelin antibody and carbon nanotubes, and then covered it on ordinary filter paper to make a test paper for cancer detection. This magical test paper can detect ovarian cancer, lung cancer and other cancers only by changing some components on the test paper. The testing method invented by Jack is faster, more effective and cheaper than the testing method popular in the medical field at present. This technology can also be used to detect human resistance to antibiotics.

At present, many American scientists agree with Jack's invention. Some people claim that this medical invention may even change the whole process of medical history.
