them at MGMU. Sechenov developed one of the first video capillaries in Russia and the first in the world to detect the earliest stages of all types of carcinoma, including melanoma and basalioma, based on the deformation of the vascular pattern long before the first signs of skin cancer appear. This was reported to socialbites.ca at Sechenov University. The work is carried out in partnership with the Unique Instrumentation Scientific and Technological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (NTC UP RAS).
Scientific studies have confirmed that the appearance of a malignant skin neoplasm is accompanied by abundant blood flow. In this place, the chaotic growth of capillaries begins: they are randomly located, their walls are thinned and have an incomplete structure or an irregular shape. Based on this, scientists can predict the development of cancer and its susceptibility to anticancer therapy.
A video capillaryoscope created at Sechenov University visualizes the distribution of the capillary network of skin neoplasms. The setup includes a digital camera, microscope, leveling glass, tripod, power supply and unique software. The device photographs a skin area at a rate of 90 frames per second, and the doctor detects the presence of cancer in the patient from the images obtained. In the future, datasets will be created from these images: with their help, artificial intelligence will help doctors make an accurate diagnosis.
“Today, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. The most dangerous of skin cancers is melanoma. The frequency of errors in oncodiagnosis reaches 26%. And here scientists needed the help of artificial intelligence. “Therefore, we hope that our joint project on visualization of the vascular network will increase the accuracy of cancer diagnosis, help detect it at the earliest stage, and this will save many lives.” Sechenov University told socialbites.ca.
A new development in Russia helps detect any type of skin cancer anywhere on the body.
“For example, a person is concerned about a mole or some type of skin growth and worries that it is malignant. Then you can come to us and see it on a video capileroscope. This technique is non-invasive and safe. According to its results, we can immediately say: either everything is fine, or there is a suspicion of oncology and we need to eliminate it. Today, the accuracy of diagnosis with the device is 85-90 percent,” said VA Rakhmanova Ludmila Smirnova.
Sechenov University is now preparing for clinical trials of the device. The launch is scheduled for September. Clinical trials will be conducted in the Skin and Venereal Diseases Clinic named after him. VA Rakhmanov Sechenov University. Those who want to participate will be able to register by meeting with a dermatologist-oncologist. The decision to participate in the study is made by the doctor.
