Length 1 mm of nematode.

Research groups, such as Kyushu causes smelled human urine smell in length 1 mm of nematode, and found out that it is possible to determine the presence or absence of cancer with a high degree of accuracy from the reaction, published in the US scientific journal electronic version of the date 11 was. Cost about 100 yen to several hundred yen once inspection, the results come out in about an hour and a half. Teamed up with such as Hitachi is promoting the development of equipment, we are aiming to commercialize also in 2019.
There is also a possibility that you can find an early cancer that did not know the conventional inspection, likely can expect treatment of consultation rate improvement and early. Gwangjin Assistant Professor (neuroscience) group has been described as "If you send the urine one drop of which was taken at home in laboratories, cancer can be a discovery. Also lead to suppression of medical expenses." I'm there are such nematode.
Inexpensive and fast, and I like the point simple. I want to look forward to the practical application of early.



九州大などの研究グループは、体長１ミリの線虫に人間の尿の臭いを嗅がせ、その反応から高い精度でがんの有無を判定できることを突き止め、１１日付の米科学誌電子版に発表した。費用は検査１回１００円から数百円程度、約１時間半で結果が出る。日立製作所などと組んで装置の開発を進めており、２０１９年にも実用化を目指している。
　従来の検査では分からなかった早期がんを発見できる可能性もあり、受診率向上や早期の治療が期待できそうだ。グループの広津助教（神経科学）は「自宅で採った尿１滴を検査機関に送れば、がんを発見できる。医療費の抑制にもつながる」と説明している。そんな線虫がいるんですね。
安価で早く、そして簡単な点がいいですね。早期の実用化に期待したいですね。
