At Quantum Surgical, we aim to transform cancer care so that as many patients as possible can benefit from minimally invasive cancer treatment.
“Transforming cancer care to ensure every patient can access effective treatment, improving their quality of life."
Bertin Nahum
CEO and co-founder, Quantum Surgical

Our mission is threefold

Offering patients a minimally invasive and effective treatment for greater comfort.

At Quantum Surgical, we dream of a world where every patient can benefit from an effective treatment that improves their quality of life. Our expertise in medical robotics and artificial intelligence allows us to offer hope to patients who until now had no therapeutic options.

Helping physicians with complex tumor ablation procedures.

By exploring new approaches and relying on feedback from physicians and patients, Quantum Surgical develops increasingly refined solutions to meet their needs and offer ever less invasive tumor treatments.

Enabling hospitals to treat more patients:

As the WHO predicts a 77% increase in cancer cases by 2050, hospitals can now rely on technologies that work to improve their workflows and provide effective treatments to even more patients.
