University of Huston, March 5, 2007 - U.S. and British medical scientists have created a device that can locate magnetic nanoparticles in lymph nodes to detect the spread of breast cancer.
Physics professors
Audrius Brazdeikis of the
University of Houston and
Quentin Pankhurst of
University College London developed a novel detection procedure combining nanotechnology and advanced magnetic sensing based on high-temperature superconductors. They said their innovation will enable surgeons to more effectively locate the sentinel lymph node -- the first lymph node into which a tumor's metastasizing cancer cells will drain.
