Optical detection of cancer

Optical detection of cancer / editor, Arlen Meyers.

Significant progress in engineering has allowed the production of devices that can optically detect, differentiate and treat surface or near-surface cancers. The ability to differentiate cancerous from non-cancerous tissue in vitro using light represents a potentially significant advance in patient...
