Diagnosing Cancer in Vivo

Abstract

The modern era of medicine has seen the development of new instruments and analyses for examining the human body. Medical advances have extended life expectancy, but a byproduct of longer life is a greater likelihood of developing cancer. Consequently, there is heightened interest in improved technologies for the diagnosis of cancer. Non-invasive, automated methods for diagnosing tumors without the need to perform excisional biopsies are discussed.
