Magseed features on BBC 2’s Trust Me I’m A Doctor

In its recent programme, the topical health show features Magseed, a technology from UCLB spinout Endomag, which is aiding doctors in the treatment of breast cancer patients.

Gabriel Weston follows a patient undergoing breast cancer treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital. She discovers how Endomag’s Magseed technology is helping surgeons to precisely remove breast tumours in patients.

The minimally invasive breast marker is smaller than a grain of rice and allows radiologists to mark the tumour site, up to 30 days before surgery.
