Illuminate breast cancer in real-time

Today, approximately 20-40% of lumpectomies result in positive margins and the need for a second invasive procedure.1,2

Breast cancer surgery statistics

Pathology
Pathology < 0.1% of the lumpectomy specimen surface is examined by pathology.*
Re-excision
Re-excision 20-40% of breast cancer patients require a second surgery.1,2
Residual
Residual 19% of patients who have negative margins after lumpectomy have residual cancer.3
Mortality
Mortality 25% of women who have breast cancer recurrence do not survive.4

what if…

WHAT IF the power to illuminate cancerous tissue was in your hands so you could see inside the breast cavity during surgery, and catch and remove additional cancer that may have otherwise been left behind?
