Cancer detection is absurdly behind the times. When cancer becomes symptomatic it is usually too late, and requires a massive intervention to control and treat. If cancer is caught early, however, it is readily treatable in most cases.

If this technology works reliably, cheaply, and at scale, it is an extremely exciting prospect. I look forward to the day when treating cancer is akin to treating the flu; cheap, simple, and with minimal disruption to the day-to-day lives of patients.

I admit this is far afield my area of expertise. But it is interesting and exciting nonetheless.
