Company Summary

Nanospectra (NBI) is commercializing a particle-based therapy for the precise thermal destruction of solid cancer tumors. By allowing the systemically delivered particles to determine the zones of ablation (rather than the placement of an energy source), AuroLase® Therapy can thermally ablate irregularly shaped or inoperable tumors while eliminating damage to healthy adjacent tissue and preserving nearby critical structures.
