LungSign(TM) Study to Monitor Lung Cancer Recurrence

superDimension.jpgIn this month of international Lung Cancer Awareness, Perceptronix Medical Inc. (Perceptronix) is pleased to announce the initiation of a new, longitudinal study with the Respiratory Department of Saint Paul’s Hospital (Vancouver, Canada). Dr. Pearce Wilcox, MD, FRCP and his team will evaluate the use of LungSign(TM) in monitoring for recurrence in subjects with recently re-sected lung cancer. Recurrence rate for lung cancer after resection can be in range from 5% to 15% thus early detection of recurrence among these patients could save many lives.
