The discovery could help doctors more quickly identify which cancer patients are at high risk of having their cancer spread to other organs, knowledge that could guide treatment decisions. The findings also potentially open new avenues for treatment.</p> Thu, 01 May 2025 18:15:32 +0000 keila.depape@mcgill.ca 317170 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/made-order-diagnostic-tests-may-be-horizon-353167 <p>51³Ô¹ÏÍø researchers have made a breakthrough in diagnostic technology, inventing a ‘lab on a chip’ that can be 3D-printed in just 30 minutes.
