Cytophone - New Laser Destroys Circulating Cancer Cells

• A team of scientists from the University of Arkansas has successfully demonstrated a non-invasive device called Cytophone that integrates a laser, ultrasound and phone technologies and has the ability to detect and kill Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) in the blood.
• The laser is up to 1,000 times more sensitive than current methods used to detect tumour cells in the blood.
• The Cytophone has also shown the ability to detect CTCs even when the tumour is not identifiable on the skin, and then to destroy them without harming surrounding blood cells.
• The study was published in the Journal Science Translational Medicine.
