CORRECTING and REPLACING Cancer Detected Earlier, Faster, with New Medical Imaging

Here is a novel way of identifying individual cancer cells in vivo using a miniaturized micro (endo) scope called "Cellvizio GI".
"Not only did the researchers see fluorescent patches, they could make out the individual cancerous cells. That fine resolution could allow doctors to pick up the earliest possible cancers. Contag said it could also become a useful research tool for studying the small number of cancer stem cells that are thought to establish the eventual tumor. "
