A fluorescent probe to assist the surgeon & maximize the completeness of tumor resection

Specific detection of tumor tissue

Tumor tissue is specifically detected through a glycosidic biomarker expressed by 90% of carcinoma (epithelial cancers). This biomarker is masked or invisible on healthy tissue. Our innovative probe makes it possible to discriminate between malignant and healthy tissue.

Administration mode

The nanoprobe is injected intraperitoneally in order to reach all nodules within the abdominal cavity even non-vascularized ones. These microscopic nodules are often responsibles for many relapses observed in those pathologies.

Detection of tumor microenvironment

Tumors' detection is made through accumulation of cancer-associated immune cells expressing CD176 (glycosidic biomarker) around the tumor tissue. Microscopic nodules' detection is possible even at their earliest development stages.

They support us

Emerging from a primary tumor site (ovaries, colon, pancreas, etc.), cancer cells spread through the peritoneal cavity resulting in peritoneal carcinomatosis (aka generalized abdominal cancers)
