Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 この発明は、上皮癌について患者をスクリーニングする改良された方法に関する 。[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improved method of screening patients for epithelial cancer. .

他の点においては、この発明は、発生が見込まれる上皮癌(possible  epithelial cancer)を検出するための患者のスクリーニング に用いられるキットに関する。In other respects, the present invention is applicable to epithelial cancers that are likely to occur. Screening of patients to detect epithelial cancer The present invention relates to a kit used for.

特には、上皮癌についての患者のスクリーニングに用いられるキットであって、 医療関係者が高度に専門化した訓練を受けることなく使用することが可能なキッ トに関する。In particular, a kit for use in screening patients for epithelial cancer, comprising: A kit that can be used by medical personnel without highly specialized training. Regarding

さらに別の点においては、この発明は、上皮癌についての患者のスクリーニング に用いられるキットであって、時間を浪費し、もしくは繁雑である混合−保存一 分配一計墓工程を必要とすることなく、必要な材料の全てを、臨床医が即座に意 のままに使用できる“調製済み(rexd7−Io−use)”の形態にするキ ットに関する。In yet another aspect, the invention provides methods for screening patients for epithelial cancer. kits used for mixing and storage that are time consuming or complicated. Clinicians can instantly obtain all necessary materials without the need for a dispensing process. The key is in “prepared (rexd7-Io-use)” form that can be used as is. Regarding the cut.

上皮癌についての患者のスクリーニング、特に口腔粘膜のような粘膜上の癌及び 前癌か疑われる部位の検出の種々の手順が知られている。そのような手順は、一 般に、癌及び前癌状態の特徴として認識されているRNAリッチの組織(RNA −rich tissue )を優先的に染色する染料を用いる。例えば、Ma shbergの米国特許4.321.251号はそのような手順を開示する。M ishbugの手順には、口腔粘膜の癌及び前癌状態を検出するために、連続的 な洗浄、リンス、並びに水、希釈酢酸及びトルイジンブルーO染料の塗布が含ま れる。この、洗浄−リンス−塗布−リンスー洗浄め手順は、疑わしい部位が検出 された場合には、偽陽性の数を減らすために、繰り返される。Screening patients for epithelial cancers, especially cancers on mucous membranes such as the oral mucosa and Various procedures for detecting suspected precancerous sites are known. Such a procedure is Generally, RNA-rich tissues (RNA A dye that preferentially stains -rich tissue is used. For example, Ma US Pat. No. 4,321,251 to Shberg discloses such a procedure. M The ishbug procedure includes continuous Includes thorough cleaning, rinsing, and application of water, dilute acetic acid, and Toluidine Blue O dye. It will be done. This wash-rinse-apply-rinse procedure is used to detect suspicious areas. If detected, it is repeated to reduce the number of false positives.

歯医者に歯の掃除に訪れるような型通りの検診(routintoffics  vis日S)の間に、全ての患者を上皮癌についてスクリーニングすることは非 常に有益なことであろう。しかしながら、Mashbe+gの手順のような上皮 癌のスクリーニング法では、型通りの使い方は達成されていない。これは、一部 には、必要な溶液を混合し、計量し、分配することが、歯医者によって各患者に 対して行なわれるには時間がかかり過ぎ、そのような手順が、幾らかの訓練と専 門職補助員(助手)が通常有する経験を越える経験を要求するためである。Routine checkups like visiting the dentist for teeth cleaning It is not possible to screen all patients for epithelial cancer during the It will always be beneficial. However, epithelial as in the Mashbe+g procedure Routine use has not been achieved in cancer screening methods. This is partly The necessary solutions are mixed, measured, and dispensed by the dentist to each patient. It is too time consuming to perform this procedure, and such procedures require some training and expertise. This is because they require experience that exceeds that normally held by assistants.

それ故に、簡略化され、患者か他の理由で診療所又は歯医者に普通に訪れること に付随するものとしての型通りのスクリーニングの助長に特に適合する、上皮癌 についての患者のスクリーニングの改良された方法を提供することが望まれる。Therefore, a normal visit to a clinic or dentist by a patient or for other reasons is simplified. epithelial cancers, particularly amenable to routine screening as an adjunct to It would be desirable to provide improved methods of screening patients for.

したがって、この発明の第1の目的は、上記改良されたスクリーニング法を提供 することにある。Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to provide the above-mentioned improved screening method. It's about doing.

この発明のさらに別の目的は、従来医療もしくは歯科専門職による上記の型通り の試験を阻止していた、時間及び繁雑さを最小にすることによって、上記の型通 りの試験を助長する装置を提供することにある。Yet another object of the invention is to provide the above-mentioned methods by the conventional medical or dental profession. By minimizing the time and complexity that was hampering the testing of The purpose of this invention is to provide a device that facilitates testing.

この発明のこれらの、及び他の、より以上の特定の目的は、この発明の一態様の 原理に従って組み立てられる要素のキットを説明する以下のこの発明の詳細な説 明から、図面と共に考慮して、当業者には明らかであろう。These and other specific objects of the invention are one aspect of the invention.
