New Zealand-based Volpara Solutions made its first sale in India of its Quantitative Breast Imaging Tools. These tools help reduce subjectivity in the assessment of breast tissue density and improve the prediction of the risk of breast cancer, reports Wellington.Scoop.
The purchase was made by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research located in Chandigarh and the tools will be used for research purposes. High breast density increases cancer risk by 4-6 times compared to low breast density. India’s National Cancer Registry Program reports a rising incidence of breast cancer in younger patients and the institute will use the software to better understand not only why India’s cancer risk is rising, but also the differences in cancer risk among its different ethnic populations.
“This is an important first sale into such a major global economy with a massive population and rising incidence of breast cancer which our software can help understand and hopefully reverse,” said CEO of Volpara Solutions Ralph Highnam, PhD.
