Aussie company up for award for BC Probe that detects missed cells during surgery

This surgical tool will be a game changer in MANY cancer surgeries.  

How WONDERFUL if/when this probe is made available to ALL BC (and other) surgeons - to ensure that as many as possible, if not ALL cancerous cells are identified and removed during surgery.

(A similar Dental Probe by Optiscan was highlighted in 2024 - The leading imaging technology has been successfully miniaturised into a 4.7mm diameter probe that allows digital biopsy, reducing the need for surgical biopsy of mouth cancers.
