Although it seems very simple, nosing nostril to detect lung cancer can not be done alone. Ngupil remains to be done by experts, in this case the doctor with the aid of special equipment that may not belong to every smoker.
But at least, detection of lung cancer by ngupil much easier and more practical than the conventional way. During this time, the doctor should perform a biopsy or tissue sampling either through injection or surgery for lung cancer detection.
"The tests that exist today are very invasive, such as open biopsy on the lung tissue. With the probe nostril, its accuracy is similar but more practical," said Dr. Christina Anderlind from Boston University, as quoted from the Mirror.
Dr. Anderlind added, tissue samples taken from the surface of the nostril is quite accurate as measures of early detection of lung cancer especially in smokers. Early detection is accurately provide up to 60 percent chance of recovery, while if it is too late chances to stay 2 percent.
The new method of tissue samples by scraping the nostrils was created Dr. Anderlind after examining 33 of smokers diagnosed with lung cancer. Observed when tissue samples from the nostrils, the smoker has 170 genes that change from cells in healthy individuals.
According to Dr. Anderlind, differences in the genetic structure of the nostrils is more easily observed than having to take samples directly in the lung tissue. Patients also benefited because the lungs do not need shots or surgery so it will not hurt.
