Cancer cells glow when viewed through surgical glasses

https://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/26496.aspx

Washington University Professor Samuel Achilefu has developed surgical glasses that detect tumors by making cancer cells glow and appear blue in color.  This is accomplished through custom video technology, a head mounted display, and a targeted molecular agent that attaches to cancer cells.  Tumors as small as 1 mm in diameter could be detected.  The glasses are designed to enable surgeons to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells, helping to ensure that no stray tumor cells are left behind during surgery.
