The safety of the system was established using data from more than 700 breast cancer patients across five clinical studies at top academic and regional community cancer centers across the U.S. The most common side effects with LUMISIGHT are hypersensitivity and an abnormal color in urine. LUMISIGHT may cause serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Results of the Investigation of Novel Surgical Imaging for Tumor Excision (INSITE) pivotal trial, used to support the efficacy of the system, were published in NEJM Evidence.

“We want to thank our clinical investigators and the hundreds of women who participated in our breast program for LUMISIGHT and Lumicell DVS,” said Jorge Ferrer, Chief Scientific Officer, Lumicell. “Due to your important contributions, LUMISIGHT and Lumicell DVS are now approved and will be available in the United States shortly.”
