Good news for cancer patients. Finally, good healthcare news in 2020: Scientists from two universities in Samara Russia have discovered a method to diagnose cancer using a spectroscopic technique that performs a biopsy on a single drop of blood in a matter of minutes.
Published in the peer-reviewed, US-based Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, the research details how blood can be analyzed by looking at how light interacts with molecules in the liquid. The technique can also rapidly test for many other diseases, which normally require hours to be diagnosed in laboratories.
