The invention relates to a method for establishing an index for a given cancer grade. The method includes profiling glycan distribution pattern of a reference cancer cell sample; adsorbing the profiled reference cancer cell sample with adsorbents; measuring the amount of the adsorbents adhering onto the profiled reference cancer cell sample; and acquiring reference correlations between the glycan distribution pattern of the reference cancer cell sample and the amount of the adsorbents adhering onto the profiled reference cancer cell sample to form the index of the given cancer grade. An index for a given cancer grade and a method for grading cancer of a test cell sample are also provided.

Method for cancer grading

A method for detecting cancer uses a first detection reagent containing a first adsorbent, which is physically adsorbed by biomedical sample. The first adsorbent comprises a long-chain ester wax containing 16-46 carbon atoms or a long-chain alkane wax containing 21-30 carbon atoms and a concentration of the first adsorbent is between 5% to 10% w/w. The present invention could be widely applied for detecting various cancers based on the differential physisorption of adsorbent. The present invention can provide a method for rapidly and non-invasively detecting cancers.

Method for detecting cancer and reagents for use therein

This invention relates to a real-time infrared chemical imaging spectroscopic apparatus, including a light source for generating infrared radiation. A test sample absorbs a narrow-bandwidth infrared radiation as a result of a monochromator dispersing the infrared radiation and emits thermal radiation. IR camera collects the thermal radiation to form an image. As such, the present invention inspects the test sample in real time without a huge amount of complicated computation. Thus, the efficiency of inspection is increased and the optical design of the apparatus is more compact.
