One of the most important determinants of treatment success and overall survival is the ability to achieve complete cytoreduction (CCR).2-5 While patients with no residual disease (CCR0) or minimal residual peritoneal surface tumor nodules less than 2.5 mm in maximum diameter (CCR1) have significantly better survival than those with residual nodules more than 2.5 mm in maximum diameter (CCR2), patients with CCR0 have experienced the best clinical outcomes.2,3,5


About Lumicell, Inc.

Lumicell is a privately held company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative fluorescence-guided technologies for cancer surgery with the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. The company’s first products pending approval are LUMISIGHT™ and the Lumicell™ Direct Visualization System which, in combination, are designed to illuminate cancerous tissue during initial surgery potentially reducing the frequency of repeat surgeries. LUMISIGHT and the Lumicell Direct Visualization System are investigational products, both limited by federal law to investigational use only and are not commercially available. These products are currently under FDA review for their first indication in breast conserving surgery; and are also being explored across a wide variety of solid tumor indications to enhance the standard of care treatment by guiding the resection of additional cancer that may have otherwise been left behind.
