New imaging technique to detect Breast Cancer Tumors!

I was clicking in my RSS news, and saw a headline I couldn’t turn away from!

Scientists at the Mayo Clinic have been testing a new technique, called Molecular Breast Imaging, that uses a radioactive tracer, so far seen as safe to the body, that activates in tumor cells. The tracer chemical makes tumor cells that have otherwise been overlooked by traditional mammography much more visible.

What the article also describes, is that using this tracer chemical can prevent unnecessary biopsies and other invasive tests on questionable cells.

You know that we at LittleLizzyLou are supporters of research that saves lives, and are so excited when we see progress in areas that will affect so many we know and love.
