Canadian bioengineers have developed the technology for diagnosing and analyzing cancers in the brain using a 3D printed ultrasensitive nanosensor capable of detecting tumor-specific proteins in at little as 5 ul of blood using surface-enhanced Raman scattering methodology.  

This liquid biopsy system can detect a primary or secondary tumor with nearly 100% accuracy and the intracranial location of that tumor with 96% accuracy.
