Microspheres Helping Surgeons Accurately Locate Breast Cancers

Microspheres Helping Surgeons Accurately Locate Breast Cancers

A new material could help surgeons more accurately locate breast cancers, reduce the need for second surgeries and minimize pre-surgical discomfort for patients. Microscopic gas-filled spheres of silica, a porous glass, can mark the location of early-stage tumors to show their position using ultrasound imaging in the operating room.
