Early detection of lung cancer remains challenging because cancer cells circulating in the blood are extremely rare( ref1 ). A new research study now shows that a single lung cancer cell can be ...

A proof of concept study suggests an FT-IR microspectroscopy blood test can detect a single circulating tumour cell in a lung cancer patient, supporting future real time monitoring.
