DNA Chip Research Prototypes DNA Chip for Lung Cancer Diagnosis.Tokyo, Japan, Dec 6, 2005 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - DNA Chip Research (TSE See Tokyo Stock Exchange. TSE 1. See Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). 2. See Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE). : 2397) has developed a prototype DNA chip for diagnosing lung cancer lung cancer, cancer that originates in the tissues of the lungs. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States in both men and women. Like other cancers, lung cancer occurs after repeated insults to the genetic material of the cell. in collaboration with Chiba University. Using DNA Chip Research's proprietary analysis technology AceGene, the two partners have extracted genes related to lung cancer and developed a chip that carries about 1,300 genes. Further, the results of the recent forward-looking study indicate that the chip can predict lymph node metastasis metastasis /me·tas·ta·sis/ (me-tas´tah-sis) pl. metas´tases 1. transfer of disease from one organ or part of the body to another not directly connected with it, due either to transfer of pathogenic microorganisms or to in 84.6% of the patients. Going forward, Chiba University plans to evaluate the prototype by cooperating with medical institutions. Copyright [c] 2005 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
