SpectraScience is a US-based company specializing in early colorectal cancer diagnosis through its innovative WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System. This system utilizes advanced optical technology to assess tissue health in real-time, distinguishing between normal, pre-cancerous, and cancerous tissues without requiring a traditional biopsy. By employing safe UV laser light, the WavSTAT enables physicians to make immediate diagnoses during endoscopic procedures and, when necessary, initiate treatment on the spot. With colorectal cancer projected to affect over 140,000 individuals in the US this year and being a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, SpectraScience's technology addresses a critical need for efficient and accurate cancer screening, particularly as only a fraction of cases are detected early when treatment is most effective.
