SEATTLE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL - TUMOR PAINTING AND CANCER TREATMENT - DETAILS

Traditionally surgeons operating on patients with brain tumors were put in the difficult position of having to remove too much healthy tissue, and possibly crippling the patient, or removing too little and leaving deadly cancer cells behind. A new technique, called "tumor painting" will allow surgeons to distinguish between healthy cells and cancer cells. Leading the research into tumor painting is Dr. James M. Olson, of Seattle Children's Hospital and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
