A new study has found a sophisticated tool may be able to detect and diagnose endometrial cancer in just seconds.
"That's really pretty good for a diagnostic test," Professor Ghaem-Maghami said.
While histopathology — examining tissue under a microscope — is the "gold standard" for diagnosis, Professor Ghaem-Maghami said she hoped the iKnife could be used to make a preliminary diagnosis after a biopsy has been taken from a patient. "It would make sense to use it for breast and ovarian cancer, for which this technology was developed," he said.Professor Obermair has some reservations about the iKnife's role in diagnosis.He said while public hospitals may be slow to communicate results with patients, endometrial cancer in Australia can be diagnosed in around a week or less.
