Duke University scientists say they have discovered a method to detect signs of cancer on a cell-by-cell basis using two lasers and a camera. A number of medical devices currently in use and in clinical trials around the world look for increases in cellular stiffness as an indicator of cancerous tissue. These instruments, however, rely on readings from many cells clustered together within the body and cannot operate on a cellular level, according to the researchers.
