By targeting and illuminating cancerous tissue during a procedure, On Target’s technology has the potential to give skilled surgeons the added benefit of intraoperative sight. This added visibility may increase the likelihood of a more complete surgical resection. Complete resections are associated with reduced re-operations or adjuvant treatments1, and for patients translate into increased survival.
