Smart monitoring solutions
to enhance cancer therapy

About

Beams is a medtech company incorporated since 2021 with the ambition to help surgeons better defining tumor margins.

An average of 20 to 50% of the operated patients go under local cancer recurrence. These local recurrences are mainly caused by tumor residues remaining in the operative wound after surgery.

Ensuring clear margins means ensuring the whole removal of tumor tissues, while preserving surrounding healthy tissues, not to damage functional zones.

TRIOP

Tumor Resection Intra-
Operative Probe

Beams develops TRIOP technology, a combination between a beta particles detector and a surgical aspirator.

TRIOP detects in situ previously injected commercial beta radiotracers. These radiotracers, currently used for diagnostic (PET-scans imaging) and therapy (internal radiotherapy), enable a very specific and sensitive detection. When a tumor tissue is localised, the surgeon is warned within seconds. Therefore, surgeons can make a precise distinction between healthy and tumorous tissues during their surgery and ensure clear margins.
