Using coded nanoparticles, a research team has developed a method to detect and diagnose cancers.
In its current level of laboratory testing, the method has been successful in detecting multiple forms of breast cancer in mice, Xinhua news agency reported on August 7.
Currently, for diagnosis of many diseases such as cancer, they rely on medical imaging but ultimately need to take tissue out for testing. We would like to move that to a different approach using optical imaging.Yiqing Lu, Macquarie University, Australia
