    • REAL TIME IMAGING
      OF BREAST CANCER
      SURGICAL MARGINS
    • Breast cancer is the most common and second leading cause of death in women in the United States and Europe. Breast-Conserving-Surgery has become the most prevalent treatment for breast tumors.Obtaining tumor free surgical margins decreases the incidence of local recurrences. Currently the status of the excised breast tissue margins is confirmed by a pathology lab several days after surgery. When residual cancer is found within the margins repeat surgery is required.

      There is a clear unmet need for a real time, precise, practical and rapid device that can effectively assess breast tissue margins during Breast Cancer Surgery. ClearEdge, an intra-operative imaging device was developed to address the need to identify breast tissue abnormalities and reduce the need for repeat surgeries.
