Biomagnetics speeds breast-cancer testing
Examining breast tissue samples for signs of cancer can be a laborious undertaking. Pathologists currently rely on tissue staining to determine whether a sample is normal or cancerous - a complex task that's open to individual interpretation. Now, help may be at hand for the pathologists with the development of a nanotechnology-based detection system that automatically detects and quantifies cancerous cells in breast tissue.
