Microwave detection of early tumors

Cancer is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Early detection of malignant tumors reduces mortality rates because cancer can be cured if treated early. Even the widely accepted standards for tumor detection, such as breast mammography, limitations exist, however, such as having high false positiv...
