Patients - Getting It All – Better Cancer Resections with FIRE – Guided Surgery
The Promise: With modern diagnostic and imaging technologies, cancer can be detected earlier than ever before. And with earlier detection comes the promise of a surgical cure—that is, the complete removal (or resection) of all tumor tissue from a patient. Research has shown that patients with surgical cures have fewer complications in recovery and a greatly enhanced survival rate when compared to patients who do not achieve surgical ...

Researchers - FIRE—Blazing a New Trail in Guided Surgery and Diagnostics
Cancer-targeted molecular probes have the potential to revolutionize surgery and diagnostics. Offering unparalleled flexibility and outstanding performance, FIRE epitomizes the cutting edge of this technology. FIRE’s quenched, substrate-based probe (qSBP) technology guides surgeons by ensuring probe signal is only seen when cancer is detected, clearly delineating tumor tissue from healthy tissue and virtually eliminating spurious background fluorescence common in other probes. ...

Clinicians - FIRE – A Flexible and Precise Molecular Probe Platform Expressly Designed for Cancer Surgeons
A critical factor in ensuring complete resection of a solid cancer tumor is the ability to determine where diseased tissue ends and healthy tissue begins. Our research, as well as our clinical collaborators, confirm that there is a pressing unmet clinical need: the ability to rapidly and globally assess the status of marginal tissue adjacent to a tumor while the patient is in the ...

Automation of molecular pathology
Tumor markers found in blood, urine and body tissues can be used in diagnosing and treating cancer. Each tumor marker is indicative of a particular disease and thus can be used for the screening, monitoring and diagnosis of specific tumor types. In addition to being used in prognosis, these molecular markers help to predict the response, resistance and toxicity to therapy. For example, BCR-ABL gene sequence detection is used to diagnose chronic myelogenous leukemia and acute lymphatic ...

Water treatment solutions for hospitals industry
Infections acquired in hospitals are the fourth largest killer in the US. According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year in this country, two million hospital patients contract infections, and well over 100,000 persons die as a result thereof, more fatalities than caused by AIDS, breast cancer and car accidents together. Infections can be prevented and controlled by running rigorous, continuous programs of routine and meticulous cleaning and disinfection of equipment, ...

Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) System for Single-Fraction APBI
You likely already know that electron-beam IORT has been successfully treating multiple cancer indications for nearly 50 years and has been treating breast cancer since the early 1990’s. The first accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) treatment with the IntraOp® Mobetron® was performed in 2006. Today, more than 20,000 women have been treated with electron IORT demonstrating equivalency in local control with reduced toxicity and improved cosmesis. More than 10,000 breast cancer patients have ...

Breast MRI System for Breast Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases in which normal cells change and grow out of control. In breast cancer, the cancerous cells are usually cells of the lobules and ducts (ie, the glands that produce milk and the channels that carry milk to the nipple). Keep in mind that cancer, or carcinoma, of the breast can be broadly divided into two categories : ...
