The name of the project is “MetaBreast - Metaverse for Breast Cancer Surgery”. Developed specifically in the field of breast cancer, it may one day also be applicable in other surgical contexts. For now, its goal is to “develop and test a new medical device to visualize malignant tissue in real time inside the patient’s breast and within the operating room”, states the document presenting the project. One of MetaBreast’s participants is the Champalimaud Foundation’s (CF) Breast Unit, represented by breast cancer surgeon Pedro Gouveia.
