ABSTRACT:
A substantially non-invasive and efficient method for collecting cells from the internal organs of a subject is provided. In one embodiment, energy from an external energy source is applied to the subject that is sufficient to loosen the cells from an internal cellular surface of an internal organ so that at least a portion of the loosened cells are detached from the internal cellular surface or the organ. The detached cells are collected from the subject and can be analyzed for a disease state. The methods described herein provide methods for detecting of disease states before macroscopic evidence of the disease state that also facilitate inexpensive mass screening.
