Animation: Circulating Tumor Cell Capture Device (VIDEO)
Caption
A team led by Yaling Liu, Lehigh University associate professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics, and Shu Yang, University of Pennsylvania professor of materials science, has developed a promising technique for isolating and detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) that travel through a person's bloodstream among billions of healthy blood cells. It's so powerful, it can detect cancer LONG before the tumor would be noticed by MRI or other existing techniques.
