"A blood test so sensitive that it can spot a SINGLE cancer cell lurking among a billion healthy ones is moving one step closer to being available at your doctor's office."

"The test uses a microchip that resembles a lab slide covered in 78,000 tiny posts, like bristles on a hairbrush. The posts are coated with antibodies that bind to tumor cells. When blood is forced across the chip, cells ping off the posts like balls in a pinball machine. The cancer cells stick, and stains make them glow so researchers can count and capture them for study."
