Current diagnostic procedure  “Frozen Section Analysis” is conventionally used in hospitals. It requires freezing the tissue, slicing and then waiting for an  pathologist for the confirmation.

Most of the small and medium hospitals rely on Histopathology analysis, which takes 5 to 7 days depending on the availability of the pathologists.

Current Approach

  • Time Consuming
  • Need of expert Pathologist
  • Postoperative Procedure
  • Recurrence
