Radio-guided occult lesion localisation using iodine 125 Seeds “ROLLIS” to guide surgical removal of an impalpable posterior chest wall melanoma metastasis
Cancer screening and surveillance programmes and the use of sophisticated imaging tools such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) have increased the detection of impalpable lesions requiring imaging guidance for excision. A new technique involves intra-lesional insertion of a low-activity iodine-125 ((125)I) seed and detection of the radioactive signal in theatre using a...
متن کامل‘Rolling out radioguided occult lesion localisation for breast tumours’: moving from ROLL to ROLLIS
We read with interest the editorial by Chung discussing advantages of radio-guided occult lesion localisation (ROLL) over other commonly used pre-operative localisation techniques for breast tumours. While the results from our audited introduction of ROLL support the conclusion that ROLL is “a simple and effective solution for guiding the excision of impalpable breast lesions”, two important dr...
متن کاملRolling out radioguided occult lesion localisation for breast tumours
There is a disconnection between the high-resolution displays in the medical imaging department and what the clinician can detect at the bedside. One example is the flood of impalpable tumours which can account for more than half of those detected by breast cancer screening programs: how to guide the surgeon to where the lesion is? One solution is the subject of the article by Landman et al. in...
متن کاملRadioactive seed migration after prostate brachytherapy with iodine-125 using loose seeds versus stranded seeds.
OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence and clinical parameters that could influence migration of seeds in localized prostate cancer patients treated by stranded versus loose sources by Iodine-125 brachytherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 patients were treated from January/1998 until December/2006. Age, PSA, clinical stage, Gleason, prostate volume, number of seeds, activity of radioactive seeds, a...
متن کاملRadioguided localisation of impalpable breast lesions using 99m-Technetium macroaggregated albumin: Lessons learnt during introduction of a new technique to guide preoperative localisation
INTRODUCTION Preoperative wire-guided localisation (WGL) of impalpable breast lesions is widely used but can be technically difficult. Risks include wire migration, inaccurate placement, and inadequate surgical margins. Research shows that radioguided occult lesion localisation (ROLL) is quicker, easier, and can improve surgical and cosmetic outcomes. An audited introduction of ROLL was conduct...
