We are excited to announce that Optiscan Imaging Ltd has received ethical clearance from the Royal Melbourne Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee to commence an in vivo clinical study focused on breast cancer. This study will showcase the capabilities of our recently unveiled InVue™ precision surgery imaging platform. The InVue™ device will be used during surgeries to collect real-time imaging data of the surgical cavity after tumor removal, aiming to determine the clearance of the tumor on the spot. Optiscan CEO and Managing Director, Dr. Camile Farah, stated: “This non-interventional study design allows us to gather valuable imaging data without interfering with standard care. We anticipate progressing to an interventional protocol, where collected images will guide surgeons in real-time decision-making for optimal patient outcomes.” Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to advance precision surgery and improve patient care. https://lnkd.in/gQz2e2HW #Optiscan #BreastCancer #InVue #PrecisionSurgery #MedicalInnovation #Healthcare

Our peer-reviewed publication on the novel use of wide-field OCT and AI as a one-two combo punch to tackle breast cancer surgical oncology margins is out! You can read the details in the paper but the key statistics is 97% pathology positive margin identification while achieving 93% sensitivity and 98% specificity. Compare this number to the published results revealing 21.1% and 14.9% reoperation rates among commercially insured patients and the Medicare cohort (bit.ly/3wwMkp1). Many thanks to my co-authors Yanir Levy, David Rempel, Mark Nguyen, Ali Yassine, Maggie Sanati-Burns, Dr Payal Salgia, Bryant Lim, Sarah Butler, PhD, and Andrew Berkeley.

Glowing dye that clings to cancer cells offers advancement in surgery, providing doctors with a 'second pair of eyes.' University of Oxford experts highlight that this innovation enables a more precise removal of cancer during operations. By reducing the chance of cancer recurrence, this technique also minimizes side effects such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction. #CancerResearch #MedicalInnovation

The diagnosis and treatment of cancer remains a critical priority for healthcare professionals around the world.   By putting digital pathology directly into the hands of surgeons as the operate, we can help facilitate on-the-spot decision making, treatment adjustments and precision surgery.   “We are particularly excited by what the InVue™, which tailors our patented technology to the surgical market, will mean for the future treatment and diagnosis of cancer patients. It will facilitate a dramatic step forward in the way cancer can be diagnosed and treated with unprecedented accuracy and precision. Our first intended use of InVue™ is for breast cancer surgery and margin determination. This form of cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women in Australia, with over 20,000 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer each year. In the US, this number is as high as 300,000.” said Dr Camile Farah, CEO and Managing Director of Optiscan Imaging Ltd.   Find out more: https://lnkd.in/geRCYeN9 #optiscan #OIL #optiscanimaging #digitalpathology #InVue

📃Scientific paper: Development and evaluation of a Japanese prediction model for low anterior resection syndrome after rectal cancer surgery Abstract: BACKGROUND: Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is the most common complication after rectal cancer resection. We aimed to identify LARS' predictive factors and construct and evaluate a predictive model for LARS. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients with rectal cancer more than 1 year after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery. We administered a questionnaire to evaluate the degree of LARS. In addition, we examined clinical characteristics with univariate and multivariate analysis to identify predictive factors for major LARS. Finally, we divided the obtained data into a learning set and a validation set. We constructed a predictive model for major LARS using the learning set and assessed the predictive accuracy of the validation set. RESULTS: We reviewed 160 patients with rectal cancer and divided them into a learning set (n = 115) and a validation set (n = 45). Univariate and multivariate analyses in the learning set showed that male (odds ratio [OR]: 2.88, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.11–8.09, p = 0.03), age < 75 years (OR: 5.87, 95%CI 1.14–47.25, p = 0.03) and tumors located < 8.5 cm from the AV (OR: 7.20, 95%CI 2.86–19.49, p < 0.01) were significantly related to major LARS. A prediction model based on the patients in the learning set was well-calibrated. CONCLUSIONS: We found that sex, age, and tumor location were independent predictors of major LARS in Japanese patients that underwent rectal cancer surgery. Our predictive model fo...
