Was the prescribed dose of radiation delivered to the tumor? Is the therapy
being accurately delivered to the tumor? Is the chemotherapeutic agent reaching
the tumor site?
Clinicians need answers. And Sicel Technologies is working to
provide the answers.
We are developing product systems that we believe will have a
significant impact on the treatment of cancer today and in the future. Wireless
implantable sensors. Surface dosimetry radiation measurement devices. And more.
All designed to give clinicians a “window into the body” so that
they can gain the kind of data they need to increase treatment success rates.
Knowing for sure
Clearly, knowing what is happening with tumor cells would allow more effective
dosing, more efficient timing, and, in the case of chemotherapy, better control
of the choice of agents.
Most important, more targeted treatment would benefit the
patient. When the oncologist is able to determine the appropriate therapy and
to use it for the right amount of time, better patient outcomes would almost
definitely follow.
