Early detection usually offers the best chance to beat cancer. Unfortunately, many tumours are not discovered until they have grown relatively large and spread to other parts of the body.

The introduction of a non-invasive diagnostic procedure and reluctance of the patients to go through painful biopsies as well as increase in the demand for personalised medicine is fuelling the search for a new alternative treatment methods for cancer.
