What's Inside: Penn a Leader in Clinical Trials, Tissue Banking
One of the things that distinguishes the University of Pennsylvania’s
Center for Head and Neck Cancer
from similar programs is the degree
of comprehensive management it
provides. The Center comprises
everything from surgical care, radiation
oncology and medical oncology,
as well as basic scientific and
clinical trials that can help patients
now and in the future. The Center
is one of the busiest in the country. |

A revolutionary discovery at the University of Pennsylvania soon will allow healthcare
workers to detect diseases while they are asymptomatic and can't be seen with the naked
eye or detected by conventional tests. Using a swab of saliva or other body fluid and
an innovation called "lab-on-a-chip," they will be able to predict in minutes silent diseases,
ranging from cancer to the flu. |
