A new kind of surgical knife can tell cancerous from healthy tissue in seconds and may help improve tumor (肿瘤) removal in the operating room.
Known as the iKnife, the tool analyzes the vapour given off as surgeons use electrical current to cut away tissue, and it reports in real time whether the tissue is cancerous or not.
Tests in 91 human patients have shown the tool's diagnoses were extremely accurate, and may be reliable enough to begin widespread use in operating rooms.
The iKnife uses mass spectrometry (质谱法) to examine the surgical smoke given off by tissue, informing the surgeon in three seconds as to what it contains.
Other current techniques, which include sending removed tissue to a lab for analysis, are costly and frequently inadequate and take about 20-30 minutes.
"Remarkably, there are almost no technologies in routine clinical practice to assist the surgeon in improving the accuracy of cancer tissue clearance," said the study.
For patients, this uncertainty can lead to repeat surgeries or worse, since returning to the operating table is not always an option for soft tissue tumors.
The iKnife can make current tumor diagnostics more accurate, and it has the potential to influence ontable decisionmaking and ultimately to improve oncological (肿瘤学的) outcomes.
In Britain alone, there are 300,000 new cases of cancer each year and 1.8 million surgical procedures performed in treatment.
