This makes developing treatments at this stage difficult, because a drug that may be effective against one cell may not be effective against another.</p> Mon, 15 Oct 2018 14:12:32 +0000 webfull 141959 at /channels /channels/channels/news/cancer-probe-chosen-top-science-discovery-285969 <h2>2017 Québec Science Discovery of the Year Award goes to the cancer-detection probe developed by Kevin Petrecca and Frédéric Leblond</h2> <p>Québec Science magazine’s 25-year tradition continues: every fall, a jury comprised of researchers and journalists selects the top 10 most impressive discoveries in Quebec in the past year and the public is asked to vote to select the winner.
