Metas-Chip precisely identifies presence of micrometastasis in live biopsy samples by label free approach
Abstract
Detecting metastatic cells in tumor/lymph node samples of breast cancer patients is extremely important for diagnosis. Here the authors develop a microelectronic biochip that detect the presence of invasive/metastatic cells in unprocessed biopsies and performs better than the current gold standards.
