IUPUI Research Might Lead to New Non-Invasive Prostate Cancer Test
Researchers at IUPUI believe they’ve found a new medical breakthrough. Over the past two years, Assistant Research Professor Amanda Siegel and Dr. Mangilal Agarwal have used lab instruments to identify the molecules in prostate cancer and the smell the cancer emits. The researchers have artificially recreated the same smell, in an effort to create testing gear that would indicate the presence of prostate cancer. If all goes well, they hope to produce prostate cancer testing strips that cost less than $1 in clinics, nationwide.
