Less-Invasive Biosensor Created for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women. Usually, diagnosis of the disease involves a mammogram or ultrasound followed by an invasive needle biopsy, where specific biomarkers are identified to determine the type of breast cancer type and develop a treatment plan. Results from a biopsy examination take up to two weeks. More...
