Medical device maker Dune Medical Devices announced Wednesday that the company has received a pre-market approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its breast cancer detection device.
The MarginProbe System can be used following the removal of cancerous tissue to know whether there is cancer in the immediate vicinity of the excised tissue. It uses electromagnetic technology to distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue and prevents repeat surgeries to remove cancerous tissue that was not detected following an initial lumpectomy.
The current standard of care involves testing the excised tissue to see whether there is any cancer on the edges, also known as “positive margin.”That increases the odds that the cancer was not fully removed from the breast, indicating that a repeat surgery is necessary.Nearly one in four women get repeat surgeries to ensure that no diseased tissue remains, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In a news release, Dune Medical Devices noted that the nod from the Food and Drug Administration was based on a664 patient prospective, multi-center, randomized, double arm trial. The product was found to be “over three times more effective in finding cancer on the margin during lumpectomy” compared to traditional methods.
“Following their breast cancer surgery, telling a patient that they need more surgery can be an emotional issue for doctors and patients. This may result in tremendous anxiety and frustration. I believe that the MarginProbe System can help advance the field of breast surgery,” saidDr. Susan K. Boolbol, an investigator for the pivotal clinical trial and Chief of Breast Surgery at Beth Israel Medical Center, in the news release.
Founded in 2002 by a physician, Dune Medical intends to apply its tissue characterization technology in which the probe analyzes the electromagentic response of tissue, in a number of medical applications both surgical and diagnostic. The company is based in Israel, but has U.S. offices in Massachusetts, in addition to offices in Germany and Switzerland. Since 2004, the company appears to have raised $35 million in three rounds of funding. The company’s lead investor is Apax Partners, a global private equity firm.

NFL Saints punter Thomas Morstead describes the healincomfort shirt as he hands them out to breast cancer patients. Thomas states in the video that his Mom had a mastectomy and one of the frustrating parts was managing the drains post surgery. The good news is the healincomfort shirt offers a solution for those drains and allows women to heal in comfort and dignity, so honored to help.

**Researchers from the University of California studied more than 1,550 women previously treated for breast cancer. After 5 years of follow-up, they found that women with the highest plasma carotenoid concentration had a reduced risk for breast cancer recurrence by 40%. The result of this study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on September 20, 2005.
Editor’s Note: Plasma Carotenoid = Fruits & Vegetables Intake
It has been known for some time that fruit and vegetable consumption helps prevent cancer. High plasma carotenoid concentration is an indication of high intake of fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene (carrot, spinach, kale and cantaloupe), lycopene (tomato, pink grapefruit, watermelon and apricots) and lutein (dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, collards, kale and broccoli) are members of the carotenoid family. This study affirmed that eating more fruits and vegetables may prevent breast cancer from returning among breast cancer survivors.
Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, folate and potassium and they are low in fat and calories. In addition to their role in cancer protection, studies showed that they also help prevent stroke and heart disease. A recent study published in January 2006 conducted by London researchers showed that eating 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of stroke by 25 percent compared to those who ate only 3 servings daily.
We are so honored to be able to help Giuliana Rancic heal in comfort and dignity after a mastectomy in her brave battle against breast cancer.
I am always so thankful when people take the time to send me a little email during such a stressful time,
An email I received today…
Dear Cherie, Just wanted you to know that I ordered your shirt for my mom last week, she received it Saturday and had her mastectomy this past Wednesday. She had looked everywhere for something to wear in Clearwater, FL and found nothing. I looked on-line and found your site and promptly ordered from you. She has received so many compliments from the nurses and staff and says the shirt is “Perfect”…comfy, easy to put on and the pockets make the drainage bags much more manageable. She looks forward to using the lanyard and the little apron. Thank you so much for making these available. She is passing your website information on to the nurses. Thank you thank you!

Yvette Bo…. I bought two of them to wear after my bilateral mastectomy and they were soooo comfortable and cool. I donated one of them to my breast surgeon to give to another woman. I also got a chance to talk to and know Cherie, she’s awesome and I respect the heck out of her for what she’s doing.
Luanne Gol… Great idea, I noticed it was difficult stretching my arms over my head in those early days.
Deborah As.. This is a wonderful idea, my mother could have used one all those years ago…
