Microchip can detect oral cancer in no time flat

A breakthrough microchip has been found to be 93% accurate in diagnosing malignant oral cancer
with a simple swipe. All it takes is a simple swab inside the mouth
placed on the chip, which is then placed in a machine. In 8 to 10
minutes, you've got your diagnosis.













The research team behind the system has just received a $2 million
award from the National Institute of Health to develop the test further
so it can get out to doctors quickly.

Currently, to check for oral cancer you need to remove a piece of
tissue from your mouth and send it off to a pathologist, with the
results coming a week later. Clearly, this is a better method that will
save lives via early diagnoses.
