Problem
Current cancer treatment options for large, inoperable tumors near critical structures often involve significant risks and extended treatment times. Existing methods may lack the precision needed to effectively target cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Solution
Gradient Medical is developing ACE therapy, a minimally invasive interventional oncology approach that utilizes nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) to selectively target and disrupt cancer cell functions. The technology provides clinicians with enhanced control over the treatment area, maximizing therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing treatment times. Real-time sensing capabilities enable adaptive energy delivery, allowing for the treatment of large, previously inoperable tumors located near critical anatomical structures. This targeted approach aims to revolutionize the treatment of both primary and metastatic tumors.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes oncologists and interventional radiologists specializing in the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors, as well as hospitals and cancer centers seeking advanced treatment modalities.
Features
- Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) selectively target cancer cells.
- Real-time sensing provides clinicians with control over the treatment zone.
- Adaptive energy delivery enables treatment of large tumors near critical structures.
- Minimally invasive approach reduces risks associated with traditional methods.
