Innovators successfully maneuver robot through living lung tissue
From University of North Carolina Health Care 26/09/23 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Some tumors are extremely small and hide deep within lung tissue, making it difficult for surgeons to reach them. To address this challenge, UNC –Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt University researchers have been working on […]
