Israeli method dramatically reduces waiting time for lab results of cancer cell detection tests following surgery to remove a malignant tumor in the abdomen
Breakthrough finds leftover cancer cells in real time during surgery
Combining medicine, engineering and computer science, a new approach from Israel can detect — in real time — any cancer cells left in the abdominal cavity after a malignant tumor is removed surgically.
The breakthrough comes from a research team at Tel Aviv University’s Zimin Institute for Engineering Solutions Advancing Better Lives, led by Prof. Noam Shomron and doctoral student Artem Danilevsky.
