Rapid autopsies have allowed scientists a rare look into how cancers grow.
UW Medicine has used rapid autopsy in the study of neuroscience, degenerative diseases and to research cures for prostate cancer. Dr. Lawrence D. True, of the University of Washington School of Medicine, noted that rapid autopsies speed the learning of molecular pathways of noncancerous diseases as well.
