７７ Blood Test for Cancer #SpaceTravel

７７　Blood Test for Cancer　#SpaceTravel

７７－１　Proteo Inspection
○ By this examination, it is possible to risk judgment of cancers including pancreatic cancer from early stage by blood test. [1]
・With biochip using novel substance Silver Peroxide Meso Crystals: Proteo®, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of cancer, the type of cancer, and the degree of progress from stage 0 with a single drop of blood.
・Peroxide Meso Crystals, biochip Proteo® directly and quickly detects a tiny amount of cancer-related substances Nucleosomes existing in the blood, and makes it possible to distinguish the cancer in stage 0 and judge its progress.
※Nucleosomes：A nucleosome is a basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes, consisting of a segment of DNA wound in sequence around eight histone protein cores.
・It was developed in collaboration with Showa University Hospital and Mytech Corporation. 
※ Subject: Solid cancer such as pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, tongue cancer, thyroid cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer

※ Inspection cost: about 500＄

７７－２　MicroRNA Inspection [4]
• Cancer cells secrete specific microRNAs.
• Evaluated 13 types of cancer in 4 grades.
• Cost: About 200＄
• Task: Even if it is not breast cancer, 20% is judged as cancer. It should be less than 5%.
• National Cancer Research Center (Tokyo) started clinical research in August 2017
• Project schedule: 2020 ~
