Implant Facilitates Early Detection Of Metastatic Cancer Cells And Improves Survival, University of Michigan Study Finds
A small device implanted under the skin can improve breast cancer survival by catching cancer cells, slowing the development of metastatic tumors in other organs and allowing time to intervene with surgery or other therapies.
These findings, reported in Cancer Research, suggest a path for identifying metastatic cancer early and intervening to improve outcomes.
"This study shows that in the metastatic setting, early detection combined with a therapeutic intervention can improve outcomes. Early detection of a primary tumor is generally associated with improved outcomes.
