Dr. Constantinos Pitris was part of the team that won the First Prize at the 2nd Cyprus Entrepreneurial Competition in July 2005<\/strong>: \u201cSELAScope Systems: Next Generation Endoscopy,\u201d First Prize at the 2nd Cyprus Entrepreneurial Competition (CyEC), July 2005 SELAScope Systems proposes a new technology for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The new procedure, based on optical molecular imaging, will combine a molecular marker of early cancer and an optical beacon thus enabling the detection of precancerous lesions even before they became clinically visible, also eliminating the need for biopsy. Such progress in the field of cancer screening and diagnosis will result in earlier and more effective treatment, with better prognosis for the patients and reduced costs for the healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n
