Cancer Detection

The District Cancer Control Programme (DCCP) launched in Ernakulam is a comprehensive approach to cancer prevention that utilises the services of the existing primary health care system.

This team of researchers at Duke University in North Carolina led by Nimmi Ramanujam say the "pocket colposcope" can connect to a laptop or mobile phone.

Cancer detection just took a leap in its development with an Indian student of University of Illinois using a technique called infrared spectroscopic imaging for microscopy to reduce the material cost, time and effort spent in cancer detection biopsies.

A team of scientists led by Prof. Srirang Manohar is working on a very promising prototype to improve breast cancer detection rates. The technology uses a new form of imaging technique and is also radiation-free. Read on to know more about how this imaging machine can change the way breast cancer is diagnosed today.
