2013年10月8日记录的是格雷戈里·维斯、博士和雷金纳德·彭纳 Ph.D.During 过去38年来, 癌症治疗有了很大改善, 今天, 许多癌症在早期发现时, 在第0阶段或1. The 问题是,无论初级癌症发生在我们的身体 – 肺、前列腺、膀胱、乳房等, 早期癌症 – 很小, 不会产生任何症状, x 光不能看到. 鉴于这个事实, 你可能会感到惊讶了解到, 当你的血液和尿液在每年的体检中进行测试时, 没有进行癌症检测. * 所以我们很少在癌症最容易治愈的最初阶段发现癌症. 这项研究的重点是解决这个问题。如果你能 自己测试 癌症呢？ 的彭纳教授和维斯教授正在开发一种新技术, 以制造廉价、一次性和高度敏感的生物传感器, 能够检测尿液和血液中的癌症. 研究是为了开发一个类似于家庭怀孕测试的生物传感器版本, 你在药店买了这个 "魔杖" 柜台外, 尿在上面, 它立即表明你是否会患有早期前列腺癌,膀胱、肾脏, 或者可能只是尿路感染 (这些症状是无法区分的), 信不信由 – 这项技术的关键是仁慈的病毒, 这些病毒被设计成捕获血液或尿液中的特定分子 为什么是病毒？ 嗯, 这是彭纳博士和维斯博士想在这个讲座中与大家分享的一个很长的故事

Recorded on October 8, 2013.Gregory Weiss, Ph.D. and Reginald M. Penner, Ph.D.During the last 38 years, cancer treatment has improved greatly, and today, many cancers can be completely cured when they are discovered early, in stages 0 or 1. The problem is that, regardless of where the primary cancer occurs in our bodies – lungs, prostate gland, bladder, breasts, etc. – early stage cancers are so small that they produce no symptoms and cannot be seen by X-rays. In view of this fact, you may be surprised to learn that when your blood and urine are tested during annual physical exams, no tests for cancer are performed.* So we only rarely detect cancer at its earliest stages, when it can be most easily cured. This research focuses on solving this problem.What if you could test yourself for cancer? Professors Penner and Weiss are developing a new technology for making cheap, disposable, and highly sensitive biosensors capable of detecting cancer in urine and blood. One goal of their research is to develop a version of this biosensor that resembles a home pregnancy test. You buy this “wand” over-the-counter in a drug store, pee on it, and it indicates immediately whether you could have early stage cancer of the prostate, bladder, kidneys or perhaps just a urinary tract infection (the symptoms for these are indistinguishable). Believe it or not – the key to this technology are benevolent viruses that are engineered to capture specific molecules in your blood or urine that are flags for cancer. Why viruses? Well, it’s a long story that Drs. Penner and Weiss would like to share with you in this lecture
