Cancer-scanning device detects residual cancer cells post-surgery – Biotech’s future

The video discusses a new device designed to detect cancer early and assist surgeons in ensuring all cancer is removed during surgery. It highlights the problem of residual cancer, where a significant percentage of cancer is left behind, necessitating additional surgeries. The device measures the rate at which cancer cells charge, as cancer cells become less organized and store charge poorly. The device is seen as beneficial for both detection and ensuring complete removal of cancer.
