Optical Fiber Probe Detects Breast Cancer

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Using an optical fiber probe, researchers have developed a more precise technique to distinguish breast cancer tissue from normal tissue. This novel device will potentially give surgeons the upper hand when removing breast cancer and prevent follow-up surgeries, which are currently needed for 15 to 20 percent of breast cancer surgery patients where all the cancer is not removed. Erik Schartner demonstrates an experimental system of the optical fiber probe. Courtesy of the University of Adelaide.
