Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for judging whether there are cancer cells in a sample containing cells collected from a patient, especially a patient suspected of cancer metastasis. Background technique:
[0002] Examination of the presence or absence of cancer cells in a sample collected from a patient can be used as an indicator for judging whether cancer cells have metastasized to the tissues and organs collected from the sample. In order to determine whether there are cancer cells in the sample, histiocytic diagnostic methods such as Papanicolaou staining have been used in the past. However, this method has problems such as that the diagnostic results vary depending on the experience of the diagnostician, and the examination takes a long time.
[0003] Recently, researches on cancer molecular pathological examination using LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification method) method and PCR (polymerase chain reaction, p...
