WPI's Liquid Biopsy Chip Captures Cancer Cells in a Simple Blood Test (VIDEO)

Cancers that spread from one organ to another can be difficult to treat, so it is best to catch them early. Since cancer cells spread through the bloodstream, a blood test that can capture and identify circulating tumor cells could be a life saver. A new technology developed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) does just that. What's more, it works quickly and is inexpensive to make, paving the way for a simple and routine.
