| Oncoscope, Inc. develops proprietary optical imaging systems for guided biopsy in epithelial tissues in the esophagus, colon, lung, cervix, and bladder, where 85% of all cancers start.
These systems are non-invasive and are used during conventional endoscopic examinations. They provide an immediate measurement of the diameter and density of cell nuclei, an indicator of potentially cancerous growth.
This information enables the physician to target suspect areas of tissue for conventional physical biopsy, reducing the cost, time, and uncertainty associated with existing random biopsy techniques.
