In the operating room, the removal of cancerous breast tissue is largely determined by what the surgeon can or cannot feel. This can often result in repeat surgeries for many patients; when cells that went unnoticed at first are subsequently discovered following treatment. OncoRes Medical is giving confidence back to surgeons and patients with a device that can detect and visualise cancer on a microscale, reducing the need for painful and often disheartening repeat surgeries at one of the most challenging times of a person's life. In this episode, Ash shares her experience navigating a cancer diagnosis that saw her need several operations, and we meet the people behind this game changing device.
