Fortis Oncology was formed in 2013 to commercialize nanomaterial-containing medical devices and diagnostic products for photothermal ablation of tumors. It acquired intellectual property from Wake Forest University developed over 5 years demonstrating ablation of primary tumors and cancer stem cells in animal studies. Fortis is now seeking investment to bring these nanothermal products to market approval to destroy cancer while sparing healthy tissue, changing cancer treatment. It is working with several leading institutions and is focused on developing advanced MRI contrast agents, medical devices for thermal cancer ablation, and devices using functionalized carbon nanotubes for thermal ablation with anti-cancer drugs.
