A recent article was published with information about an infallible hand-held probe that is to aid cancer surgery. Researchers in Canada have invented an intraoperative probe that reliably detects multiple types of tumor cells. For longer life expectancy and reduced risk of recurrence for patients with common widespread forms of cancer they can now thank […]
Odd Things That Raise Cancer Risk
