New Study: Exceptional Outcomes at 5 Years with SAVI Breast Brachytherapy Remedy for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

New Study: Exceptional Outcomes at 5 Years with SAVI Breast Brachytherapy Remedy for Early-Stage Breast Cancer


Aliso Viejo, CA (PRWEB) September 04, 2014

Cianna Healthcare, Inc., a women’s health business, nowadays announced the release of lengthy-term data supporting the efficacy and safety of breast brachytherapy with the SAVI® applicator. Researchers reported 5-year outcomes for the 1st 100 sufferers treated with strut-based brachytherapy, which includes favorably low prices of local recurrence and toxicities, as well as excellent cosmetic outcomes.

&#13

SAVI is a strut-primarily based applicator that delivers a type of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) recognized as a breast brachytherapy, a 5-day course of targeted radiation for early-stage breast cancer. The 5-year actuarial rate for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) was three.3%, and good/excellent cosmesis was reported in far more than 94% of patients, according to the study.

&#13

“Five-year final results is a important milestone for any medical technology, and physicians ought to be confident offering SAVI as a protected, powerful therapy for patients with early, reduced risk breast cancers,” stated radiation oncologist Robert Kuske, MD, co-principal investigator of the SAVI Collaborative Investigation Group. “It’s encouraging to have an additional option to deliver very targeted, precise radiation, as it enables physicians to treat just the area most at threat for recurrence, whilst minimizing side effects and improving overall high quality of life for our patients.”

&#13

To date, this is the longest comply with-up reported by the SAVI Collaborative Study Group, which was created to study the long-term outcomes of ladies treated with strut-based brachytherapy. The 5-year results will be presented at the 2014 Breast Cancer Symposium, September four-six, 2014,

&#13

“Based on our study, nearby manage is comparable to published outcomes for entire breast irradiation with equivalent stick to-up, whilst toxicity rates and cosmetic outcomes are frequently superior with the strut-primarily based device due to its ability to deliver precisely targeted radiation,” Dr. Kuske added. “Better cosmetic outcomes, along with the shortened course of treatment, can lead to larger levels of patient satisfaction, which is an important good quality measure in today’s altering healthcare environment.”

&#13

Strut-based brachytherapy is used as portion of breast conservation therapy (BCT), which consists of a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy. Entire breast irradiation (WBI) radiates the entire breast, like healthier tissue and underlying structures, even though breast brachytherapy delivers targeted radiation to the area quickly surrounding the lumpectomy cavity. The clinical advantages of targeted radiation like brachytherapy incorporate decreased radiation exposure to healthy tissue, much better cosmetic results, fewer extended-term side effects, and preserving a lot more treatment options in the future in the occasion of a recurrence or new principal cancer.

&#13

Patient eligibility for breast brachytherapy contains reduced danger cancers, as nicely as a quantity of other elements, which includes tumor size, age, margin status and lymph node involvement. The strut-primarily based, open architecture design and style of SAVI allows physicians to sculpt radiation primarily based on patient-specific anatomy, which may increase the number of girls eligible for breast brachytherapy.

&#13

About Cianna Medical, Inc.&#13

Cianna Healthcare, Inc. is a healthcare device business focused on women’s wellness and devoted to the innovative therapy of early-stage breast cancer. The firm manufactures and markets the SAVI breast brachytherapy applicator, for the delivery of radiation soon after lumpectomy surgery. The applicator allows precise sculpting of the radiation dose, and is made to make the advantages breast brachytherapy offered to a higher number of females. To date, more than 20,000 females have been treated with the SAVI applicator.

Microscan Celebrates 20 Years of Data Matrix Codes

Microscan Celebrates 20 Years of Data Matrix Codes


Renton, WA (PRWEB) August 13, 2014

Microscan, a global technology leader in barcode, machine vision, and lighting solutions, celebrates the 20th anniversary of the two-dimensional (2D) Data Matrix code. The Data Matrix was invented in 1994 by International Data Matrix, Inc. (I.D. Matrix), a key innovator in Microscan’s 30-year lineage.

In the past 20 years, 2D Data Matrix codes have become an integral part of tracking and traceability in China manufacturing and production facilities around the world, from direct part marks (DPM) on automotive parts and PCBs to printed codes on pharmaceutical products, where small size and readability are vital.

A single Data Matrix code can hold thousands of characters. Its compact size, data carrying capacity, and generous reading tolerance set Data Matrix apart from other barcode symbologies. Data Matrix can be read at lower contrast ratios than most barcode symbologies, which is a beneficial characteristic in environments where codes may be obscured and in cases where the code is directly applied to metal and other reflective surfaces through various marking methods.

Data Matrix codes with scratches, tears, or stains can be successfully read without data loss, even if more than 20 percent of the symbol is damaged. For this reason, Data Matrix has been selected by many government organizations as the code of choice in data tracking and traceability regulations and standards – for example the FDA and EU regulations for the packaging of medicines within the pharmaceutical industry.

“We achieved much of our early success China engineering aggressive imagers and direct part mark readers to read 2D codes like Data Matrix at virtually any resolution, size, substance, or quality. Our product history has been guided by the codes that we read, and I’m proud to pay tribute to I.D. Matrix and celebrate all the benefits that the Data Matrix has brought to manufacturers and consumers in the past 20 years,” said Microscan CEO Scott Summerville.
