In particular, 2022 may be the year in which scientists have made the most progress in cancer treatment research, because we have shared a lot of news on this subject with you so far. We are here with another cancer treatment news.
This is what we’re going to talk about in a moment, it’s more of a diagnostic tool than a cure. This tool, which will be used in the treatment of breast cancer, helps to detect cancerous cells and to maintain the proportion of healthy breasts in breast removal operations. Let’s take a look at the details.
1 mm microscopic device helps to quickly diagnose cancerous cells
Developed by experts at the Imperial College London institute, this new microscopic device can be inserted into the body and moved inside the body. This enables rapid detection of cancerous cells during operations for breast cancer.
Since it can easily move between body tissues, surgeons will be able to detect cancerous cells much more easily thanks to this device. Thus, safer operations will be performed by protecting healthy breast tissues where breast cancer has not spread. Likewise, all cancerous cells will be detected in the most accurate way and the operation will be carried out.
In fact, this device itself is a microscope, more specifically an endo-microscope. The device, which will serve as a kind of imaging, will produce images up to 120 frames per second, and will detect sick cells in the body at an ‘unprecedented speed’.
