We hope robotic technology will help diagnose and treat lung cancer with a single procedure

According to doctors who have tried the technology, there are hopes that lung cancer can be diagnosed and removed from patients in a single sitting, thanks to robotic technology in the future. The method allows doctors to target and remove lung nodules with millimetric precision. Experts have said this use of robotics has the potential… Read More »

There is still no standard test to detect pancreatic cancer early. Scientists are working to change this

Mammograms are available to detect breast cancer early. Colonoscopies are available to find colon cancer early. But there is no standard test to detect early cases of pancreatic cancer, before the cancer cells have spread and when surgery would be more beneficial. Detecting pancreatic cancer early can help increase a patient’s chances of survival. Although… Read More »

How cancer cells move and metastasize is affected by the fluids that surround them; Understanding how tumors migrate could help stop their spread

Cell migration, or how cells move through the body, is essential for both normal body function and disease progression. Cell movement is what allows body parts to grow in the right place during early development, wounds to heal, and tumors to become metastatic. The way researchers understood cell migration in the last century was limited… Read More »
