Cancer is a deadly disease that to this day, doctors haven't really found a cure for it. There are only ways to alleviate cancer patients, but it is not enough to solve the problem. But scientists are not stopping to help discover the end to cancer and on November 28, news about this new device that could track down roaming cancer cells in the body has been making rounds on the Internet.
In an article shared by Phys.Org, a new tool made of high-resolution microfluidic material can now be used to check the activity of cancer cells in the body. This tool would help determine if the cancer cells have the potential to metastasize.
What most people don't know is that those who don't get to survive from this disease don't die with the initial tumors that are formed in the body. They die of the tumors that eventually metastasize and they often are far from the malignant tumor's origin. It is crucial that you have an understanding of how cancer cells and tumors travel in order to fight this disease.
Scientists at the University of Toronto headed by Shana Kelley made a revolutionary discovery of this device that would make it easier to monitor cancer cells and if they are about to metastasize. The website Utoronto also reported this breakthrough in the field of medicine saying that it is a team effort that they have come up with this tool. Thanks to the many oncologists at the Sunnybrook Research Centre and Princess Margaret Hospital, researchers of this project found it easier to discover how cancer cells travel and how they eventually morph into something that could kill a human being.
It looks like there is hope after all for this deadly disease that is continuing to sweep mankind. Share this good news with your loved ones, especially to those who are battling with the disease.
