Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early.

A sensor that requires no nanoscale patterning detects single molecules of a breast cancer protein at concentrations 250 ...

Scientists at the University of the Western Cape say they have developed a low-cost, highly sensitive and rapid screening ...

A sponge-like gold nanoparticle platform could deliver faster, more accurate, and less invasive ovarian cancer diagnostics.

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that could have far-reaching implications for early disease detection. The team, ...

Researchers from Duke University suggest adding a light source and sensors at the end of an endoscope could potentially help physicians accurately identify pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus more ...

Conventional diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound, MRI, PET, CT scans, and scintigraphy, often identify cancer only at later stages. These methods can be expensive, expose patients to radiation, and ...

Researchers at Michigan State University created an insect brain-based gas sensing platform to detect lung cancer cell lines. With more development, the technology could be used to detect cancer and ...

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified formaldehyde as “carcinogenic to humans (Group 1),” linking it to nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia. While evidence for sinonasal ...

Every October, it seems like there’s a pink ribbon—the universal symbol for breast cancer—everywhere you go. However, most people may not even recognize an ovarian cancer awareness ribbon unless ...
