Executive Summary
The rates of reoperation after breast conservation therapy vary between 25 and 49%, due to the presence of tumor cells remaining in the surrounding tissue after the tumor is removed. NovaScan hopes to reduce the need for these reoperations. Its FastPath residual cancer probe is designed to identify normal, benign and malignant tissue types remaining inside the surgical cavity and in excised tissue in real time during surgery.
