Tech in Trend: New technology may help to identify tumour spread in breast cancer patients

This new track and trace technology may help to identify tumour spread in breast cancer patients. Doctors at London's St Georges Hospital are using this technology. Doctors are using a whole system called Endomag. Surgeons remove primary breast tumour through surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Then doctors check whether cancer has been treated or if it has spread. Doctors use a magnetic liquid tracer, magtrace, to follow this process.
