Science Nation: Breakthrough in Early Cancer Detection

Microscopic view of cells. Some are blue and some are larger and red. Caption: on how to make early cancer detection cheaper.

There are only a few procedures that can detect very early signs of cancer. Those that do are often invasive, expensive, and uncomfortable. With support from the National Science Foundation, Vadim Backman of Northwestern University is developing technology that makes detecting cancer earlier. He’s doing it by shedding light on cancer cell development at the nanoscale level.
