Novel diagnostic therapy for lung cancer can detect the disease early, paving the way for personalized medicine, reports a new study.
Lung Cancer - Types, Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor in the lung tissues. Smoking is the main cause of lung cancer with symptoms like recurrent respiratory diseases.

‘Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally, is tough to detect at early stages, making it challenging to treat.’
Selective recognition and imaging of oncogene-specific non-canonical DNA secondary structures (G-quadruplex-GQ structures) maintain great hope in the diagnostic (theranostic) treatment for cancer development. They have been challenging due to their structural dynamics and diversity.
Small molecule for careful recognition of BCL-2 GQ has been developed through novel hybrid loop stacking, groove binding mode with turn on far-red fluorescence response, and anti-cancer activity displaying the potential GQ-targeted lung cancer theranostics. The ministry stated that this methodology could be further utilized to develop cancer-type specific theranostic drugs with tremendous implications in personalized medicine. A patent application has now been filed for this invention.
