A new technique by Chinese researchers may revolutionise the diagnosis of breast cancer and make treatment and surgery easier and more effective.
This development is important for Kenyans since breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that kills women in the country. It also affects a number of men. The technique uses a special machine placed on the breast allowing doctors to quickly confirm whether there is cancer, how far it extends and the type of the breast cancer. This is all done without having to cut breast tissue and take it to the laboratory.
