LUCKNOW: A non-invasive method for detecting kidney cancer has been developed by doctors at King George's Medical University (KGMU). This will not only aid in early disease detection, but will also suggest treatment options. In comparison to the traditional invasive biopsy method, the risk of infection will be minimal.

The study's leader, Prof Durgesh Dwivedi of the department of radiodiagnosis, said, "Using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging, we developed a non-invasive method (DCE-MRI). The method was found to be effective in our preliminary study with a small sample size. A larger sample is now being studied in a more advanced study to determine its efficacy." "It's a first-of-its-kind method for detecting kidney cancer anywhere in the world. It will also recommend which medications to give to patients with the least amount of side effects. The results of our groundbreaking research study were recently published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Cancer and Clinical Research, which has a high impact factor "He had informed me.

Traditional biopsy is used to confirm cancer in kidney cells, according to Prof Dwivedi. The tissues of the kidney tumour are removed using this procedure, which involves inserting a needle into the tumour. However, because cancer patients' immune systems are compromised, there is a risk of infection when a needle is inserted into the organ and cuts into the tissues.
