Early detection with a small sensor
U.S. News is reporting that Georgia Tech researchers developed a small device that could detect cancer. It’s an acoutic sensor that detects small amounts of mesothelin in the blood. Mesothelin is one of the markers of mesothelioma. “Early detection is a holy grail of cancer research,” the article says. Indeed it is, and although this new development probably won’t yield practical applications for a few years, it is encouraging news.
