Researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering have developed a light-based probe which has demonstrated, in first laboratory tests on human tissue, to be able to instantly detect the earliest signs of cancer in cells lining the internal organs.
According to Adam Wax, professor of biomedical engineering:
Our initial study is very promising. We looked at tissue removed from just a handful of patients and were able to get 100 percent sensitivity. We could detect pre-cancer in the esophagus and distinguish it from normal tissue like you would find in the stomach.”

We all read and hear from experts that once cancer …read more
