Lumicell Featured on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew to Discuss Advances in Breast Cancer Surgery
WALTHAM, Mass., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumicell, Inc., a leader in developing innovative fluorescence-guided imaging technologies for cancer detection, announced today that it will be featured on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew, a national health television series hosted by Dr. Drew, highlighting advances in intraoperative technology designed to improve surgical outcomes in breast cancer surgery. The show will air live on Sunday, April 19 th at 5:00pm ET on Fox Business.
The segment, titled "Transforming Cancer Surgery," includes an in-studio discussion focused on the challenges surgeons face in identifying residual cancer during lumpectomy procedures and the potential impact of enhanced intraoperative visualization. The program features Dr. Fedra Fallahian, breast surgical oncologist, alongside Jorge Ferrer PhD, Lumicell's Chief Scientific Officer, and Kristie Cole, a LumiSystem breast cancer patient.
During the episode, the conversation explores how Lumicell's fluorescence guided imaging technology is designed to help surgeons detect residual cancer that may be difficult to see with the naked eye during breast conserving surgery. The discussion emphasizes the importance of improved intraoperative decision making in reducing the likelihood of additional surgeries.
"Breast cancer surgeons are making critical decisions in real time, often without the ability to see all remaining disease," said Dr. Jorge Ferrer, Chief Scientific Officer at Lumicell. "Participating in Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew provided an opportunity to discuss why enhanced visualization during surgery matters and how this technology, providing information never before available, may help address a longstanding clinical challenge."
In addition to the clinical perspective, the segment addresses the patient experience, including the emotional and physical burden associated with uncertainty following cancer surgery.
