Cancer patients’ lives lengthened, improved
A UNSW researcher has developed a world-first test which will radically improve cancer management.
Professor Philip Hogg, the co-director of UNSW’s Lowy Cancer Research Centre, has developed the technology which will determine whether cancer cells are dying within one day of a patient’s treatment with radiation or chemotherapy.
The test uses a dye to determine whether a family of molecules which attach themselves to dying or dead cancer cells have appeared.
