New developments in the detection of breast cancer and medical devices

The Fundación Teófilo Hernando has 27 years of experience as a Clinical Research Organization (CRO) in several therapeutic areas, to improve people's quality of life. Currently, we are participating in studies related to cancer cancer detection and care, among others.

Unique Diagnostic Technique:

This innovative project involves pioneering multicenter research using a new microwave imaging technique to enhance the accuracy and comfort of breast cancer screening. Radiation-free and painless, it offers a safe and harmless technique with the potential for improved early detection as an alternative to traditional mammograms. 

With FTH team participation as a CRO in multiple hospital centers across Spain and Portugal, it promises to open new avenues for early breast cancer detection.

Breast Implant Study:

This study focuses on the safety of a new implant designed to assist in breast reconstruction following surgical removal of malignant breast lesions. Led by an international team, this pivotal trial aims to validate the safety and efficacy of this innovative medical device in patients who have undergone lumpectomy. The novelty lies in its innovative design and composition, utilizing a bioabsorbable polymeric scaffold with a porous structure and interconnected channels that allow for the growth of soft tissue within the breast. It aims to restore the shape and natural appearance of the breast, following surgical removal of benign and malignant breast lesions; tailored to each patient's individual needs.

With FTH team participation as a CRO in a hospital center in Spain, this multinational study, also conducted in Italy, is advancing toward new options for safe and effective medical products for women facing breast cancer.

These studies represent a part of our efforts to advance clinical research and improve global health.
