Dr. Larson heard about the circulating tumor cells and he said one of the difficulties is that we cannot tell whether they are viable or not. Since CanScan can solve the problem of detecting the living circulating the tumor cells, this may be one of the advantages of our service.
As the circulating tumor cells diagnosis is still not well established in the cancer diagnosis field, Dr. Larson would like to see more research articles on that before making decision on adopting new diagnosis method.
I asked Dr. Larson if it is hard to convince physicians to use new methodology for cancer diagnosis. Dr. Larson thinks physicians would be happy to adopt a better and more sensitive cancer diagnosis method.
