Precision Tumor Removal Technology ID: 2022-013

An innovative technology designed to enhance the accuracy of tumor removal by distinguishing cancerous from healthy tissues.

Technology Overview

This invention improves surgical outcomes by using isotopically labeled precursors to create contrast maps that clearly identify the boundaries between cancerous and healthy tissues. By exploiting the rapid growth characteristics of cancer cells, this technology allows surgeons to more precisely remove tumors, minimizing the risk of leaving behind cancerous cells or removing healthy tissue. The method is versatile, supporting various detection methods such as Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and Mass spectrometry.

Key Advantages

• Enhances precision in tumor removal surgeries
• Uses isotopically labeled precursors to distinguish between cancerous and healthy tissues
• Supports multiple detection methods, making it adaptable to different surgical contexts
• Minimizes the risk of leaving behind cancerous cells or removing healthy tissue

Problems Addressed

• Difficulty in distinguishing between cancerous and healthy tissues during surgery
• Adverse outcomes from leaving behind tumor cells or unnecessarily removing healthy tissues
• Lack of a universal method to accurately identify tumor boundaries due to varying cancer cell expression

Market Applications

• Agricultural data collection and analysis
• Scalable deployment of low-cost, low-power sensors in farming • Integration with existing agricultural machinery (e.g., drones, tractors) for enhanced data collection
• Potential for expansion into other areas requiring large-scale sensor deployment
