Perimeter Medical Imaging AI announces the initiation of its #pivotaltrial led by Drs. Richard Fine, Michael Berry and Richard Gilmore at West Cancer Center & Research Institute to determine the impact of our investigational OCT imaging #technology with #AI on margin assessment.

Our West network is so excited and proud to partner with Perimeter Medical Imaging AI on this new clinical trial opportunity to provide #breastcancer surgeons with specimen imaging tools to aid their decisions in ‘real time’ while operating.

As the official Twitter account for the research department of West Cancer Center & Research Institute we will start the new year with good news from last year. Despite Covid, thanks to our staff PIs, and patients, we were still able to open 22 new prospective studies in 2021! Kudos most to our patients🙏

More good news: thanks to our incredible research staff (>30 research specific personnel) our average study approval to open time last year was 12 weeks!! The faster we can open the studies the faster we can help answer important questions in cancer care. West Cancer Center & Research Institute

Of the more than 300 participants who enrolled in clinical trials West Cancer Center & Research Institute in 2021, 35% were black. We thank you for putting your trust in us and we will continue to do our best to offer all of our patients access to state of the art trials and treatments. #CancerDisparities

Our Breast Center surgeons were the first to test a new #clinicaltrial for breast conservation surgery from Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, utilizing specimen imaging tools to aid their decisions in ‘real time’ while in the operating room. bizjournals.com/memphis/inno/s…


Nationally, only 1 in 5 participants in trials of cancer treatments are non-white. At West Cancer Center & Research Institute, that number is doubled to 2 in 5. We are dismantling disparities, one patient and family at a time. I. Love. My. City. #healthcare #quality #cancer #research

So far in 2022, our providers have referred over 400 patients for our 37 currently open trials. Of the participants enrolled, 36% are Non-Caucasian, and 46% are age 65+. These percentages are good but we strive to do better for all of our patients with cancer. West Cancer Center & Research Institute
