Nationally recognized as Cancer Survivor Month, June is a time to celebrate the 18 million cancer survivors living in the U.S. today, and their loved ones who have stood by them during their difficult journey. Out of 18 million people, 4 million have overcome breast cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, 30% of all new female cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer in 2024, with the 5-year relative survival rate being 99% when caught at the localized stage, meaning before cancer has spread outside of the breast and when it is easiest to treat. Unfortunately, only about 66% of breast cancer cases are caught that early. The purpose of Koning’s technology is to transform this number by incentivizing more women to get their annual exams. Too many women skip their scans because they do not have enough information or financial means to visit a nearby location, or simply because they find conventional mammograms uncomfortable. Of those who do get exams, far too many get false positive or false negative results when using conventional imaging methods.
Our revolutionary Koning Vera Breast CT is a compression-free modality that produces high-contrast real 3D images of the breast with exceptional spatial resolution – the scan is done without painful compression at radiation levels in the range of conventional mammograms.
At Koning, we recognize that survivorship involves more than just the end of treatment – it means navigating physical, emotional, and financial challenges after breast cancer. Many survivors can attest that there is life before, during, and after. We are here for you at the earliest stage and beyond.
