Lung Biopsy Improves Cancer Diagnosis

A microfluidic chip developed by scientists captures elusive circulating tumor cells from blood and thereby improves cancer diagnosis and treatment. The device, believed to be the first to pair these functions, uses the advanced electronics material graphene oxide. In clinics, such a device could one day help doctors diagnose cancers, give more accurate prognoses and test treatment options on cultured cells without subjecting patients to traditional biopsies. ...
