Cancer Cell Detection in Breast Surgery

The provider uses optical coherence tomography imaging to detect cancer cells in the margins of the specimen of excised breast tissue or axillary lymph node. The procedure gives the provider immediate feedback on whether the surgical margins are clear of cancer cells or if the provider needs to excise more tissue. After surgery, the provider or a radiologist interprets the data and reports the findings. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
