Investors - Akrotome FIRE
Advances in diagnostic methods have enabled the detection of cancer at the earliest stages when the chances for successful intervention are highest. For many solid tumors, the best chance for a cure is surgery. A surgical cure depends upon the complete removal of all cancer tissue from a patient (a “complete resection”). The main challenge of this approach is that it is very difficult for a surgeon to determine where diseased tissue ends and healthy tissue begins. The result is that many surgical ...

Neuromonitoring Solutions for Thyroid Surgery
Over 100,000 thyroid surgeries are performed in Germany alone every year. In other words, more than 100,000 vocal cord nerves must be protected from injury.

Unfortunately, this benefit does not extend to patients whose tumors contain mutations in EGFR signaling components KRAS and BRAF, which together represent 50% of all colorectal cancers. This makes characterizing these molecular markers an ...
