The Cancer Diagnostic Probe (CDP) is a medical device used in Iran during breast cancer surgery.[1][2] First developed by Nano Hesgar Sazan Salamt Arya, an Iranian company,[1] CDP has received medical approval in Iran, where it is used in surgical centers.[2]
Development and application
The Cancer Diagnostic Probe was developed by a team led by Mohammad Abdolahad, a 2019 Mustafa Prize laureate and faculty member of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Tehran, to facilitate the determination of cancerous margins.[2] Abdolahad stated that the clinical trial for the device lasted 4 years and that up to 500 surgeries had been carried out using the CDP by 2020.[2] According to Sayyed Ruhollah Miri, the head of the Cancer Institute at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, the CDP reduces the diagnosis time to 1–2 minutes.[3]
Mechanism
The CDP device is composed of three main parts: "a disposable sensor; a wireless electrical head probe used by the surgeon; [and] a main control computer system which receives the signals from the head probe".[2] It electrochemically measures the hypoxia glycolysis metabolism in real-time "in pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions in cavity side margins".[1] It measures the release of H2O2 from cancer or atypical cells by the reverse Warburg effect.[1][4]
Reception
The development of CDP was supported by the Iranian Nano Technology Development Headquarters.[3] After receiving medical approval, this system has been used in breast cancer surgeries in Iran.[2] As of 2022[update], four U.S. patents have been published related to CDP.[5]
