Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to measure breast cancer risk at the cellular level. The innovative platform analyzes how individual breast cells deform and recover under mechanical stress, providing valuable insights for doctors.
This technology could significantly improve risk assessment for the vast majority of women who do not have a known genetic predisposition to breast cancer. Developed using simple electronics, the tool has the potential to be widely accessible and affordable, benefiting countless women.
The approach focuses on the physical properties of cells rather than genetic markers, opening a new avenue for early detection and personalized risk evaluation.
