(Northwestern University) A Northwestern University biomedical engineer who has developed optical technology shown to be effective for the early detection of colon cancer has received a $7.5 million grant over five years from the National Cancer Institute to further study an instrument that potentially could become a routine colon cancer screening test and to launch large-scale clinical trials.
The technology could lead to the first population-wide screening test that can accurately predict the presence of the disease with adequate sensitivity.
