Laser light detects tumors

(Leibniz-Institute of Photonic Technology) A team of researchers from Jena presents a groundbreaking new method for the rapid, gentle and reliable detection of tumors with laser light. The Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) introduced a compact device for rapid cancer diagnosis during surgery at the leading trade fair " Laser World of Photonics " from 24 to 27 June 2019 in Munich. The optical method will help surgeons to remove tumors more precisely and perspectively could make cancer operations possible without a scalpel.
