Liquid biopsy-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) is being viewed as a breakthrough in cancer screening and prevention due to its ability to detect multiple cancers simultaneously with minimal invasiveness and high patient compliance. Current cancer screening methods, such as mammography, colonoscopy, and low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), are limited in scope

Researchers at Ajou University in South Korea have developed a novel, compact hyperspectral imaging system with artificial intelligence (AI) that can diagnose gastric cancer accurately based on intrinsic tissue optical properties. The system, which utilizes structured illumination and hyperspectral imaging, was found to be effective in identifying cancer tissue among
Cancer
Researchers at Keele University have embarked on a groundbreaking study to explore the chemical makeup of calcifications caused by prostate cancer. The investigation, supported by Cancer Research UK, aims to identify new markers for early diagnosis by analyzing the elements present in these calcifications. By examining calcified prostate tissue in
