International collaboration towards novel, integrated clinicopathologic diagnosis of cancer based on physical readouts

Project Gist

Development of novel, integrated clinicopathologic diagnosis of cancer based on physical readouts

Keywords

cancer, pathology, morphologic analysis, medical physics, fluctuation

Background, Purpose, and Project Achievements

We are collaborating in study of diagnosis of various types of cancers using a novel biophysical methodology in association with pathologic diagnosis. We have been studying quantification of cancer cell morphology. Further, by combination of the quantitative morphology and measurement of physical cell-tissue adhesion, we have developed novel diagnostic methods for diagnosis of cancer and various diseases on the basis of medical physics.

Future Prospects

We aim to understand the nature of cancer and other various diseases by integration of the chemical analyses using mass spectrometry, biophysical analyses, and pathologic morphometric analyses.
