“Unlike other surgical techniques, image guided surgery provides us with a ‘real time’ view of the body while we operate. We can accurately pinpoint cancer cells and growths and then remove them with far less damage to healthy tissue…It’s far less likely that a cancer patient will need to return for further surgery. It also means less painful side effects from unnecessary damage to healthy tissues and organs.”
