Protease Activity Sensing Probes For Early Detection and Prognosis of Pancreatic Cancer

Summary The current technology is a liquid biopsy diagnostic screen for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is high throughput, requires very small blood volumes and has been validated in a large patient dataset. Technology Overview Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers and is typically discovered by accident...

Nanoparticle ultrasound contrast agents with high acoustic activity

Summary Contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows for low-cost minimally-invasive imaging; however, the size of typical contrast reagents prevents them from penetrating tumors thereby limiting their utility for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (theranostics). Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers have developed novel nanoparticle...

Label-free microfluidic device for cancer liquid biopsy

Summary Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive method of early cancer detection; however, circulating cancer cells are rare and difficult to detect. The current technology is a device that allows for sensitive, label-free enrichment of circulating neoplastic cells in order to facilitate the detection of cancer biomarkers from peripheral blood samples. Technology...
