According to a Reuters report on December 16, a group of scientists from the UK developed a new feature of 3D printing for use in medicine, which is used to create a personalized replica model of the body's cancerous parts, thereby helping doctors to more accurately Position the tumor.
The principle of 3D printing technology is to continuously layer an object until a three-dimensional object is generated. Cars and airlines generally use it to make prototypes, creating specialized tools, model products, and some terminal parts of the product.
Emerging technologies that are rapidly evolving in medicine have long been used to make medical implants. In the medical field, 3D printers are used by dentists to create replicas of the jaws and teeth, as well as some delicate artificial dental implants. Plastic surgeons have also successfully applied them to custom hip replacements. In 2013, American scientists successfully created human ears with the help of 3D printing technology.
The new cancer treatment work creates 3D tumors and organ images based on CT scans taken during the treatment, and models the plastics and fills them with liquids, allowing experts to observe in detail the flow of so-called radiopharmaceuticals.
Radiopharmaceuticals, as the name suggests, contain radioactive materials. It can be administered intravenously, orally or directly into a body cavity. Dose control is the most challenging problem, both enough to kill cancer cells and to cause excessive damage to healthy tissue.
Glenn Flecks, director of the radioisotope division at the London Cancer Institute, believes that accurate modeling will allow future doctors to adjust doses moderately, and may eventually achieve regular use of 3D printouts. Glenn said: "If we can achieve personalized treatment based on the amount of radiation in the tumor, the results will be better, which will have a huge impact." Glenn and colleagues published in the July issue of Medical Physics A technical paper indicates that these models can accurately replicate the shape of the patient's tumor and surrounding organs, and now want to prove that the technology can bring benefits in larger studies.
Radiopharmaceuticals can be used to treat different tumors, including thyroid cancer, childhood neuronal cancer, and certain tumors that have spread to bone. Bayer's recently launched Xofigo injection of prostate cancer radiotherapy has once again sparked interest in the field. The team is based in London and uses Stratasys' 3D printers from one of the leading suppliers of high-end machines. In October, a senior executive at Stratasys said that the global 3D printing market capacity is expected to increase from $3 billion last year to $21 billion by 2020.
