title: Tech Fights Toughest Tumors: New Robotics Capabilities, Radiation Technologies, and Methods for Spotting Tumor Cells Lead the Way Forward.
abstract: Ask any surgical oncologist, and you'll hear the same thing: tumors are insidious. Removing them completely can be very difficult. Sometimes tumors are in hardto-reach areas, and, in many cases, tumor tissue looks so much like normal tissue that surgeons cannot tell exactly what to excise and what to leave alone.
