DOC SHOCK
Biopsies may soon be a thing of the past! The University of Michigan has developed a device that can detect cancer. It’s a wearable device that filters blood to find cancer cells. It essentially “scans” the blood cells to look for cancer. The device is also relatively small, measuring 2 by 2.75 by 1 inch. Researchers tested the device on dogs, and it worked! It’s estimated that the device will be available in 3 to 5 years after human clinical trials. When it comes to cancer, the earlier it is detected, the better. To catch cancer early, be sure to schedule your physicals yearly.
