Hunter's comment
Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and a standard procedure to detect it is through Biopsy.
But, a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia, have now developed a prototype of a device which intends to detect skin cancer, without need of a biopsy.
This device is an extremely low-cost handheld probe which can help doctors detect skin cancer just by shining a light on the affected area. The device analyses how certain properties of light are changed to determine whether the results are positive or negative.
Still in the development stage, a prototype is being tested and might soon be available commercially for use by dermatologists or even households.

remember to hunt really your best finds on the web, we want the site to be fully of quality awesome products that people will love!
some power tips for the next hunt.. .
It is developing many different devices for treatment methods nowadays like this device thanks to technology. All of these support our healthcare and this device is the one of technologic devices. I think it is great health device
Cancer is a chronic disease which has ma.y kinds and categories. Detection on early stages is difficult as there is not awareness about proper medical checkup in several countries. Skin cancer is also a chronic and common type in which lot of people effected every year. "Cancer Probe" is a great innovation in this field. This device easily detect the effected area of skin and give a great edge to doctors who detect and know the situation ofcthis disease in no time, saving a lot of time in biopsy test. @rjoshicool really nice hunting.
Early detection of cancer is helpful to cure and save a lot of of lifes. Cancer Probe is a nice device which may be helpful in early detection of cancer. It will save a lot of precious life. The other great feature is that the device is not expensive so can be used by many user. Great hunt
I dont think any household will have a skin cancer detection device at home and therefore dont agree with the last 2 words. Great innovation though. Painful biopsy replaced by light. While this won't make cure easier, its still may be better for early detection.
It is very impressive to be able to find cancer with this simple device. I think that the inclusion of this process in health screening will have a great effect. Cancer is important for early detection and this equipment will be useful.
This device is simple and easy to use. Detecting cancers is really need to know in early stage where cancer is so dangerous disease. This really save people who has a cancer. Great hunt
Detecting a cancer in early stage is vital to cure it permanently. This is a great low cost device for scanning skin cancer so that people have the chance to overcome from it. Cancer scanning devices are more complex and costly those prototype derive is a low cost, so that it can be obtain by rural hospitals too. Hope this prototype will be fully operational soon and thanks to the researchers for developing such a device.
I think this has several advantages. First of all, one does not have to go through several biopsies and it can be be done by an ease. Second thing is that people who are living in distant place may not need to travel so long to have a check in the context of skin cancer. So it saves both time as well as lengthy processes. Further, if it can be detected with this tool very efficiently and of course early, then effective treatment can also be started at an early stage to the patient.
An excellent hunt and hence sharing in my twitter handle.
Thank you and Have a great day.
Amazing device to detect skin cancer, in that way patient can use easily by checking and scanning in the real time. This way is a fast treatment to do with this smart device. A patient cures this disease very soon.
