A research team has succeeded in developing a strip-type urine sensor that can amplify the light signal of metabolites in urine and in diagnosing cancer in the field. This result came from an effort to find metabolites in urine that was led by Dr. Ho Sang Jung of the Surface & Nano Materials Div
ison of the Korea Institute of Materials Science , a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT in joint research conducted with Professor Junsuk Rho of POSTECH and Professor Samjin Choi of Kyung Hee University Medical School.
The research team paid attention to the difference in metabolomic components present in the urine of cancer patients and normal people. When cancer cells proliferate in the body, they secrete different metabolites into urine due to abnormal metabolism. In order to classify this as an existing technology, expensive and large equipment was required, limiting on-site field application.
Senior researcher Ho Sang Jung, who is in charge of the research, said, “In the case of cancers where the diagnosis method is not well known, such as pancreatic cancer, it is difficult to detect and the survival rate after initial diagnosis is low. It is known that 14 pancreatic cancer patients die every day in Korea, and the economic cost per person is about 63 million won per year.
