Fluoptics against cancer
What’s at stake
Over 5 000 000 people around the world undergo cancer surgery every year; a procedure which remains one of the most effective cancer treatments available.
Improving the longterm reliability of surgical resection will help surgeons save thousands
of lives.

Towards more efficient
surgery
For the surgeon it is often difficult to differentiate healthy from tumorous tissues.
The Fluoptics technology provides a very
precise real time image of the tumors during surgery, with 4 major benefits:
a
thorough resection of even the smallest
metastasis (otherwise invisible),
location of the lymph nodes (sentinel
nodes procedure),
precise
resection, with a considerable
reduction of the tumor margin,
protection of normal vital structures.

The translation of this technique to clinical application is in progress.
Pre-clinical tests over different types of cancer have proved the efficiency of our solution.
