A University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) research team led by Vladimir Zharov, PhD, DSc, has demonstrated the ability to detect and kill circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood using a noninvasive device called Cytophone that integrates a laser, ultrasound, and phone technologies.
The device is 1,000 times more sensitive than other methods at detecting of CTCs in the blood of patients with melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer.
