From WikiCover

SpectraScience has developed a multi-patented and proprietary WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System that is used by physicians to diagnose tissue to determine if it is normal, pre-cancerous, or cancerous within seconds. The WavSTAT System is currently approved by the FDA for use in detecting pre-cancer and cancer in the colon. A new application for detecting pre-cancers in the throat, sometimes called Barrett's esophagus, is being tested in a clinical trial. Cancer of the esophagus is more than 90% fatal and may develop as a result of chronic heartburn or GERD. Esophageal cancer is growing five times faster than all other cancers.

On August 16, 2007, SpectraScience announced that it has appointed Michel Vaudry as director of international sales.
