Scientists are exploring leading-edge technologies that could transform how cancer is studied, detected and treated by catching it earlier, when it's more treatable and survival rates are highest.

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

But once a cancer has been detected, the ability to quickly specify exactly which treatment will work is set to have a transformative impact upon oncology, upon the wider world of medicine, and upon ...
