Lumicell General Information

Description

Developer of oncology surgical devices designed to improve the way cancer surgery is performed. The company's devices use an optical contrast agent that targets the tumor microenvironment to fluoresce near cancer cells at the tumor margin along with a single-cell resolution imaging device to fit into the lumpectomy cavity and scan for residual cancer at the margins, enabling surgeons to remove cancer cells in the cavity walls in real-time during surgery.
