Tactile sensing of prostate cancer : a resonance sensor method evaluated using human prostate tissue in vitro
Prostate cancer is the most frequent type of cancer in men in Europe and the USA. The methods presently used to detect and diagnose prostate cancer are inexact, and new techniques are needed. Prostate tumours can be regarded as harder than the surrounding normal healthy glandular tissue, and therefo...
