A new study by researchers at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow,UK;www.strath.ac.uk) has found that microbubble technology holds great potential in assisting surgeons to target cancer nore precisely.
This new technology could greatly minimize the need for invasive surgeries, significantly enhancing the quality of life for bowel cancer patients.
The study revealed that by injecting patients with safe microscopic gas bubbles, ultrasound technology could be utilized by surgeons to locate which areas of tissue the cancer has spread to.
The acquired data could help minimize the removal of healthy tissue, thus reducing the complexity of surgery and the risks associated with it for the patients.
This innovative approach could revolutionize the treatment of bowel cancer in the near future.
