Monday 11 May – Monday 18 May COVID-19 is changing the way cancer treatment is delivered: breast cancer clinics are providing access to a shorter, less invasive form of radiotherapy; telehealth is increasingly being implemented for medical consultations. However, the impact of the pandemic on medical research is yet to be fully realised as universities report revenue drops and labs have paused scientific research. Queensland researchers have developed a world-first saliva test to detect early throat cancer. Scientists from ARC Centre of Excellence in Bio Nano Science have developed nanomedicine that gets into tumour tissue and can travel to the core of the tumour. An international team have developed a drug-loaded microrobotic needle that can target, and remain attached, to cancerous tissue. |
