No More “Take Two” in Lung Cancer Surgeries

Suffering from lung cancer and undergoing an operation is distressing enough. Yet some patients need to go through a second surgery when the tumor has not been completely removed. A HKUST research team has developed a cutting-edge microscope that can accurately detect any remaining cancer cells in just three minutes. Leveraging AI, this innovation can help doctors make near real-time judgments during surgery while sparing patients from unnecessary ordeal.
