The spread of skin cancer cells through the blood by literally listening to their sound can now be detected, according to University of Missouri-Columbia researchers.
The novel, minimally invasive technique called photoacoustic detection causes melanoma cells to emit noise, enabling oncologists to spot early signs of metastases — as few as 10 cancer cells in a blood […]
The Phase 2b study in metastatic melanoma of Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (Nasdaq: SNTA)’s STA-4783, revealed positive data.
