Goodbye, BioLucent. Hello, Cianna Medical.
Also, are you discussing APBI options with your patients? In the interview below, a radiation oncologist emphasizes the importance of offering a Plan B at your practice. |

Cianna Medical!
As we announced in June, Hologic, Inc. will acquire BioLucent, Inc. and its MammoPad®business. Separately, BioLucent will spin-off its breast brachytherapy business into a new company called Cianna Medical, Inc. The creation of Cianna will be concurrent with the close of the Hologic transaction, which is expected to occur in September 2007.
By retaining SAVI™and creating Cianna Medical, we believe this is the best way to meet our customers' needs, to help them serve their patients — and to realize the full potential of SAVI and next generation technology.
SAVI Update
We continue to make great progress as we gain clinical experience with the SAVI applicator. Currently, over 70 patients have received treatment with SAVI. Also, clinical data for SAVI will be revealed in several presentations at upcoming conferences this fall.
