In fact, tests with tumor-bearing animals showed that the quantum dots were visible in tumors within 20 minutes after injection. The fluorescent signal from the tumor-bound quantum dots peaked at six hours after injection, and optical images clearly outlined the tumors against a very low fluorescent background. Subsequent microscopic examination of the tumors showed that the quantum dots were congregated on the blood vessels growing in and around the tumors." http://curehope.org I find this very interesting : “Based on these promising results with isolated cells, the investigators explored whether these targeted quantum dots would bind to human tumors growing in mice.
