Detection of Lung Cancer Cells in Solutions Using a Terahertz Chemical Microscope

Cancer genome analysis has recently attracted attention for personalized cancer treatment. In this treatment, evaluation of the ratio of cancer cells in a specimen tissue is essential for the precise analysis of the genome.
