Preferred Label : Mass Spectrometry-based Cancer Detection via Hand-held Extraction Device;
NCIt synonyms : preciso MasSpec Pen System;
NCIt definition : A method of cancer detection that uses an in vivo or ex vivo tissue as a specimen
source for mass spectrometry. A hand-held device collects biological molecules from
a tissue sample surface via a solid-liquid extraction mechanism and transports the
molecules to a mass spectrometer for analysis. The composition of the extracted molecules
can be used to predict if the tissue sample contains cancerous cells using machine
learning algorithms and statistical models.;
