Carmen M. Llona, with Fox News, wrote an article documenting the developments made by researchers at the University of Ilinois and Washington University on cancer detecting technology. She writes about their newly invented goggles that can detect cancer during surgery. "The goggles, which were tested on mice and women with breast cancer, have an integrated camera that can pick up infared signals beneath the surface of the tissue."
