Our Strategy
To build a portfolio and establish a network of healthcare providers, research institutions and industry partners to facilitate efficient and effective diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
-
The National Lung Screening trial validated that the majority of lung nodules detected on chest computed tomography (CT) are benign. Although low-dose computed tomography (CT) is an effective screening tool for lung cancer, implementing screening programs can be challenging. Identifying eligible patients, coordinating screening and follow-up processes, and handling incidental findings are some of the challenges associated with lung cancer screening.
-
Lung cancer is a heterogeneous disease and can be challenging to diagnose. Tumors can have different genetic mutations and respond differently to treatment.
-
In lung cancer treatments, minimally invasive procedures often result in lower complication rates, faster recovery times and preservation of lung function.
-
Lung cancer and its treatment can have a significant impact on physical functioning and can impact a patient’s ability to perform daily activities. By effectively managing the range of symptoms, we can enhance well-being and overall quality of care.

Bronchoscopic Evaluation of a Steerable Needle for Simulated Tumor Targets in the Lung Periphery: A Feasibility Study (Bullseye)
Fifteen tumor targets were placed with a mean lesion size of 20.4 mm. The majority of lesions were located in the upper lobes. One fiducial marker was placed in 93.3% of lesions and a second fiducial marker was successfully placed in 80% of lesions. A fiducial marker was placed within the central zone in 60% of lesions.

Initial Experience with Steerable Instrumentation in Human Cadaveric Models with Simulated Tumor Targets
Both the steerable sheath and steerable needle were successfully placed within simulated tumor targets in all lobes of two cadaveric lungs with diagnostic biopsy material obtained from all lobes. Additionally, manipulation of the distal end of the steerable sheath and steerable needle was successfully used to reposition each tool within different locations of the same lesion
