Bubbles used to find cancer cells

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/kent/8350259.stm


A new technique using tiny bubbles to detect cancer has been developed by clinicians at a hospital in Kent.


Fifty-four patients were tested in the "microbubble" study at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust.


The results, which were published in the British Journal of Surgery, suggested that breast cancer patients could avoid repeat surgery.
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."

Re: Bubbles used to find cancer cells

De bubbels worden niet gebruikt om kankercellen te vinden maar om de lymfe node te vinden, die daarna wordt getest op de aanwezigheid van kankercellen. Klein verschil.
