Revolutionizing cancer treatment with instant imaging
In the realm of cancer treatments, response rates typically average around 30 percent, leaving many patients unresponsive to standard therapies while still enduring their side effects. Dr. Groot introduces a groundbreaking alternative: a method where clinicians take a biopsy sample—whether obtained endoscopically or surgically—and place it into a culture chamber, keeping it alive for five days. During this time, they administer two or three potential treatments envisioned for the patient.
Following this, physicians can observe how the tissue responds to these treatments, allowing them to predict the patient’s potential response. This approach enables ongoing monitoring of tissue dynamics and facilitates the development of further diagnostic tests.
This innovative technique is made feasible by employing ultra-short laser pulses characterized by a low repetition rate and low average power. This laser technology avoids tissue damage and heating, preserving tissue integrity. The VALO lasers offer numerous advantages, particularly within clinical settings. Clinicians can develop portable devices and use short pulse durations for label-free microscopy to image tissue samples.
The applications are vast, including instant pathology—a currently unmet clinical need—and live tissue imaging, which unlocks myriad possibilities in both clinical and pharmaceutical contexts. This novel approach heralds a new era in personalized cancer treatment assessment and monitoring.
