Executive Summary
Every week just under 19,000 breast biopsies are performed in the US to find only 2,800 cancers. While tissue biopsies will always be necessary to determine the degree, invasiveness and stage of masses that are cancerous, the founder of BioLuminate thought there ought to be a less invasive way to initially rule out cancer to prevent large numbers of biopsies on benign tissue. He believes he's found it in smart probe technology licensed from NASA.
