"Every fireman knows the recipe for a fire. Heat, fuel and oxygen. This simple equation has not been confirmable or reproducible when applying this formula for the destruction of airway accessible malignant tumors. There is a mountain of peer reviewed data to support the robust tumor ablation capabilities of PDT in the aero-digestive track when conditions are favorable. In the proper setting, PDT has been unequivocally proven to work. It does not cause tumor resistance. It is not immutagenetic. It does not cross react with other oncologic treatments.
To date, the limitation has been the planning complexity to confirm the proper delivery of directed heat, fuel and oxygen. The Sanovas patent addresses all these components in what is an amazingly simple and elegant delivery system. It absolutely confirms directed therapy without probable bystander effects. It confirms appropriate oxygen presence as well as delivery of the PDT photosensitizing agent into the tumor. I await with anticipation clinical trials that confirm the significant potential of this system to address the devastating impact of lung cancer on our patients," stated Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, Director of Interventional Pulmonology at Titus Regional Medical Center and Clinical Professor of Medicine, LSU-Shreveport.

"MINOS is a comprehensive treatment technique that points to the future of precision medicine and to treating therapy resistant cancers," stated Larry Gerrans, the patent's author and the President and CEO of Sanovas. "This is a new therapeutic solution with a strong potential to improve cancer treatments, prolong survival and save millions of lives, globally."
Done with minimally invasive technologies, MINOS can be used when open surgery or external beam radiation would be detrimental or even contraindicated to the patient with other disease entities such as chronic pulmonary disease or heart failure.
