How does Organic Chemistry aid in Diagnosing Gynecological Conditions?
Diagnostic tests for gynecological conditions often involve organic compounds. For example, Pap smears use organic dyes to stain cells, allowing for the detection of abnormal cells. Additionally, biomarkers such as CA-125 are organic molecules used in blood tests to help diagnose conditions like ovarian cancer. Organic chemistry provides the foundation for understanding and improving these diagnostic methods.
