Three-Dimensional Molds Based on Radiological imagEs in Patients With Cancer: the DIRECT Trial

Sponsor: Tampere University Hospital

Summary

Determination of the sites from which the histopathological samples in surgically removed lesions are collected is still done by eye by a pathologist. As radiological determination of regions of interest has already proven useful in in vivo use cases, the implementation of sampling of ex vivo lesions with the help of radiological imaging suggests great potential. By developing and implementing mold printing processes, these molds have the potential to vastly improve the accuracy and consistency of histopathological sampling and collection of tissue samples from different regions of tumor, leading to improved characterization, more individualized treatments, and eventually better survival.
