Imagine if doctors could pinpoint deadly cancer cells as they move through a patient's blood the same way that traffic cameras keep an eye on vehicles moving through the main arteries of a city.
With this technology, patients could get personalized treatment in almost real time throughout the course of the disease...which would help level the playing field in the war against cancer and make early detection — when treatment can be most effective — a common and relatively simple process.
For Scripps Research scientist, Peter Kuhn, making this life-saving technology available for all cancer patients is a dream that could become reality soon!
