About POSICSIncreasing certainty
Increasing certainty
in cancer surgery.
POSICS was born from a simple observation: surgeons operating on cancer patients are expected to achieve perfect precision, but at the critical moment of the operation, they have no direct visual information about tumour location or completeness of removal.
The project was initiated in the research group of Prof. Domenico della Volpe, through the ATTRACT Phase 1 programme. It has since grown into a full-scale prototype, supported by competitive funding and a multidisciplinary Geneva-based team.
Every year, surgeons close wounds not knowing with certainty whether they removed everything. We are building the tool that changes that.
