Our first target: breast conserving surgery
SEE MORE
Worldwide over 1 million women diagnosed with breast cancer undergo BCT (surgery with follow-up radiotherapy) annually as an alternative to mastectomy, whereby both procedures result in comparable survival rate for early breast cancer.
The current standard of care recommending BCT suffers up to 15% recurrence rate within 10 years, and 20% reoperation rate within 90 days due to positive margin (residual cancer cells).
5-years residual risks of recurrence for patients with stage I, II, III and IV cancers are about 7%, 11%, 13% and >20% respectively, relating to 5-years survival rate of 100%, 93%, 72% and 22% respectively.
