Probe For Cancer Surgery

A recent article was published with information about an infallible hand-held probe that is to aid cancer surgery. Researchers in Canada have invented an intraoperative probe that reliably detects multiple types of tumor cells. For longer life expectancy and reduced risk of recurrence for patients with common widespread forms of cancer they can now thank this multimodal optical spectroscopy probe recently developed.

Scientists at Polytechnique Montreal, the Centre de recherché du Centre hospitalier de I’Universite de Montreal, the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, McGill University and the MUHC scientists developed a hand-held Raman spectroscopy probe in 2015 that allows …read more
