In breast cancer surgery, it is vital to completely remove the entire tumour. Unfortunately, in 30% of breast-conserving surgeries, re-excision is required because microscopic analysis after the surgery indicated some tumour had been missed. This has traumatic consequences for the patient and places a huge economic burden on the healthcare system. Using micro-elastography, we will enable the surgeon to detect small regions of tumour during the initial surgery. This probe may significantly reduce the number of additional surgeries required.

在乳腺癌手术中，彻底切除整个肿瘤是至关重要的。不幸的是，在30%的保乳手术中，需要再次切除，因为手术后的显微镜分析表明一些肿瘤被遗漏了。这对患者造成了创伤后果，并给医疗体系带来了巨大的经济负担。使用微弹性成像，我们将使外科医生能够在最初的手术中检测到肿瘤的小区域。这一探测可能会显著减少所需的额外手术数量。
