Watch LumiSystem at work

NBC10 Boston reports that Lumicell’s real-time cancer cell detection system is transforming outcomes for breast cancer patients. A clinical trial of LumiSystem-assisted lumpectomies showed that the system helped surgeons find otherwise undetected cancer cells in 10% of patients. Without the system, 15-20% of patients need a second surgery to remove cancer cells left behind. Developed with early support from the Koch Institute Frontier Research Program and now commercially available, LumiSystem could be in use at Massachusetts General Hospital within a few months.
