One in eight women in Europe will develop breast cancer at some stage in her life. Yet closer cooperation between specialists, new diagnostics and therapies have improved survival rates significantly^1,2 as well as Patients’ quality of life^.3-5

Sysmex is playing a significant role in these improvements for you as a clinician, and your patients.

Eliminate concerns regarding guidewire or radioactive makers for impalpable lesion localisation by using the Sentimag^® / Magseed^® system for true convenience for you and your patients.
Your patients can benefit from tissue-saving operations and fewer long-term effects thanks to the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNLB) concept.
You no longer need radioactive markers to detect sentinel lymph nodes as the Sentimag^® / Sienna+^® system detects them magnetically.
Get reliable findings based on whole nodes – not just slices – using OSNA’s molecular lymph node analysis; also inter-operatively. It’s shown to help deliver individualised therapy decisions too.
Reduce your patients’ limitations in everyday life using modern breast cancer management even with the most essential, systemic cancer treatment.
