A team led by researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine has demonstrated a way to diagnose cancer without resorting to surgery, raising the possibility of far fewer biopsies. For this first-in-humans clinical trial, women with either breast or ovarian tumours were injected intravenously with microbubbles capable of binding to and identifying cancer. Jurgen […]
