What Are the Emerging Technologies in Tumor Detection?
Emerging technologies are revolutionizing tumor detection:
- Liquid Biopsy: This is a non-invasive test that detects cancer cells or DNA from tumors in a blood sample. It is particularly useful for monitoring cancer progression and response to treatment. - Molecular Imaging: This technique provides detailed images at the molecular and cellular levels, helping to identify tumors even before they form a mass. - Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI algorithms can analyze medical images and data faster and more accurately than humans, aiding in early and accurate detection of tumors. - Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): NGS can identify genetic mutations associated with cancer, allowing for personalized treatment plans.
