Magic bullet 'to detect early cancers'
Scientists claim to have devised a "magic bullet" to detect very early cancers.
A team at the University of Nottingham says that it's, in fact, pioneering a microscopic "fat bubble" which can home in on tumour sites and relay the location, thus enabling doctors to detect early cancer.
They say the technique, being co-developed with a team at the University of Queensland in Australia, could be available in surgeries within a decade, British newspaper the'Sunday Express'reported.
Ultrasound expert Dr Melissa Mather, who led the team, said: "This is very exciting. These bubbles can detect disease at a molecular level while existing for more details....
