Lumicell, an MIT spinout, has developed a handheld device with an optical imaging agent that enables surgeons to see real-time tissue images during surgery. This innovation helps detect residual cancer cells, allowing for more precise tissue removal and potentially reducing the need for follow-up surgeries. During clinical trials, the technology significantly decreased the need for second surgeries and identified tissue likely to contain cancer cells that standard lumpectomy procedures might have overlooked.
