A groundbreaking achievement: Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute and Miami Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, led the nation as the first to offer Epione, a cutting-edge robotic-assisted technology for minimally invasive ablation procedures. This technology has successfully transformed care for countless cancer patients.

For patients like Jose, the battle against renal cell carcinoma is a marathon, not a sprint. Diagnosed in 2006, Jose underwent a complete nephrectomy, removing his entire left kidney. Last year, his journey took another challenging turn when he developed metastatic lesions in the lower lobe of his right lung and pancreas, requiring additional surgeries. But when a lesion appeared in his remaining kidney, surgery was no longer an option.

Facing this new hurdle, Jose’s team at Miami Cancer Institute turned to innovation. They recommended a minimally invasive procedure using Epione, a robotic-assisted technology for percutaneous ablation. Given the tumor type and its location, the team decided that cryoablation would provide Jose with the best possible outcome.

Dr. Ripal Gandhi, a vascular and interventional radiologist with over 15 years of experience, led Jose’s procedure. A global thought leader in minimally invasive therapies, Dr. Gandhi specializes in cutting-edge treatments for cancer, peripheral vascular disease, and more. His expertise and Epione’s advanced technology offered Jose a new path forward in his ongoing fight against cancer.

“The benefits of the Epione robotic system is it allows us to treat patients more precisely, we are able to access lesions which sometimes would take us hours or sometimes we could not treat at all,” shared Dr. Gandhi. “It allows us to treat patients who may have a lot of issues, who might have a lot of comorbidities, who might not be safely placed under anesthesia for a long period of time, where you can treat the patient much faster and do it safely.”

For Dr. Gandhi and his colleagues at Miami Cancer Institute, Epione has been a ‘game-changing technology’.

“When we are doing procedures robotically versus freehand, these procedures are done much faster. It’s really beneficial for everybody; it’s beneficial for the patient as they are under anesthesia for a shorter period of time, and we are able to do more procedures in the room. Patients can have a faster recovery,” adds Dr. Gandhi.

Thanks to this minimally invasive, cutting-edge procedure, Jose has been given a renewed sense of hope and a cancer-free future. He and his family are deeply grateful to Dr. Gandhi and the team at Miami Cancer Institute for their exceptional care. At his most recent follow-up appointment, Jose was thrilled to share that he remains cancer-free, a testament to the power of innovation and expertise in modern medicine.

Montpellier, September 7^th 2023 – French medical robotics company Quantum Surgical has obtained CE mark approval for the expanded use of its robotic platform, Epione®, in the treatment of lung tumors. With over 2 million new cases worldwide in 2020, including approximately500,000 in Europe, lung cancer is the leading cause of cance- related mortality[1]. This new feature will be presented with related clinical study results at the CIRSE 2023 conference in Copenhagen from September 9th to 13th by Dr. Bonnet, interventional radiologist at Gustave Roussy.

Quantum Surgical’s flagship product, the Epione® robotic platform, is dedicated to the curative treatment of cancers. Epione® allow sphysicians to treat inoperable tumors that are particularly difficult to reach,due to their size or their location, at an early stage, in a simple and effective way.  

Epione® can be used to treat abdominal tumors (including theliver, kidneys, and pancreas) and over 200 patients have already been treated inFrance and the United States.

The CE mark approval for lung tumors will expand thisinnovative, targeted, and minimally invasive treatment to new patients inEurope.

It is based on a clinical study conducted at Gustave Roussy, the leading cancer center in Europe (third worldwide), the results of which will be presented during the international scientific conference organized by CIRSE(Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe).

"With Epione®, our goal is to provide patients with an effective, better targeted and minimally invasive treatment. While over 2 million new cases of lung cancer diagnosed each year worldwide, we are delighted that our technology can now be accessible to new patients in Europe" said Bertin Nahum, President and Co-founder of Quantum Surgical.

“Patients were treated at Gustave Roussy with thermal destruction of lung metastases as part of a clinical study investigating the feasibility and safety of robotic guidance. In this ongoing study, the Epione® robot has consistently enabled technical success and has proven to be safe. The Epione® robot could enhance the minimally nvasive management of small and hard-to-reach lung tumors," stated Professor Thierry De Baère, Interventional Radiologist in the Department of Therapeutic Imaging at Gustave Roussy and member of the scientific advisory board of Quantum Surgical.

Laetitia Messner, Chief Clinical Officer of Quantum Surgical, explains, "Coordinated by Professor De Baère, the clinical study has demonstrated the clinical performance and safety of Epione® in the treatment of lung tumors. The CE mark approval proves the relevance and effectiveness of Epione®, which will enable us to offer innovative, targeted, and less invasive treatments to new patients."

Epione® is a robotic-assisted percutaneous ablation system, using a robotic arm, a navigation system and a camera. This procedure is an alternative to surgery in which a needle is inserted through the skin to the tumor to destroy it. This technique makes it possible to treat tumors that are particularly difficult to reach, due to their size or theirl ocation.

Relying on the know-how of the practitioner,Epione® integrates all the steps of a percutaneous ablation procedure in asingle platform: planning, targeting, ablation, confirmation.

Montpellier, June 13, 2023 – A 50th patient has been treated using the Epione® robot from Quantum Surgical by the team of Pr. Laurent Milot, Deputy Chief Vascular & Interventional Radiology at the Hospices Civils de Lyon (France), highlighting a successful collaboration only 8 months post-acquisition.

Installed in November 2022, the team of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL, France) are convinced of the value of this innovative platform from Quantum Surgical and celebrating that 50 patients have benefited from Epione®.Epione® can be used to treat early-stage abdominal tumors that are inoperable or particularly difficult to reach, due to their size or location.

HCL is the second hospital in the world offering this revolutionary platform to their patients. The first Epione® robot was acquired by the Institut Gustave Roussy (France) in January 2022 where the team has already treated more than 100 patients. The very first patient in the United States was also successfully treated using the Epione® robot at Baptist Hospital in Miami (Florida) last month.

Beyond the new procedural advantages it provides, Epione® makes it possible to offer patients a minimally invasive treatment. It improves their comfort and facilitates their recovery, due to the absence of surgery.

For physicians and hospitals, Epione® combines advanced robotic assistance with image-guided navigation and ablation confirmation tools to promote the standardization of minimally invasive tumor ablation procedures. This is a major challenge given that more than 4 million abdominal cancers are diagnosed each year in the world[1].

“I am very pleased with this milestone, which above all underlines the perfect match between the HCL teams and the Epione® robot, which delivers all its promises. We are very excited to continue to explore the many benefits of Epione® and to support the next steps in the development of robotics in interventional radiology. This will undoubtedly lead to significant progress and extend hope for patients we do not have treatment solutions for so far” explains Prof. Laurent Milot, Deputy Chief Vascular & Interventional Radiology.

“The implementation of the Epione® robot within the Hospices Civils de Lyon is a success: in eight months, 50 patients have already benefited from our technology, as part of their cancer treatment. Pr. LaurentMilot's teams are particularly enthusiastic. We are delighted with this collaboration, which improves access to care and patient comfort” said Bertin Nahum, president and co-founder of Quantum Surgical.
