Cancer laboratories are at the forefront of innovation, employing cutting-edge technologies to advance the field. Some innovations include:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Used for data analysis, pattern recognition, and predicting treatment outcomes. - CRISPR-Cas9: A gene-editing tool that allows precise modifications of the genome to study cancer genes. - Organoids: Miniature, 3D models of tumors grown from patient cells to test treatments in a more physiologically relevant context. - Liquid Biopsies: Non-invasive tests that detect cancer markers in blood, enabling early diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response.
