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 کاملPrebiopsy localisation of impalpable breast lesions.
Prebiopsy localization of impalpable breast lesions (IBL) assures removal of suspicious mammographically detected lesions. Specimen radiograph of the excised specimen is mandatory to confirm complete excision. The aim of this study was to audit our series of percutaneous hookwire localization and to determine the positive biopsy rate of the mammographically detected impalpable breast lesion in ...
متن کاملPreoperative Localisation of Impalpable Breast Lesions
It is now well established that mammography is a sensitive technique for the detection of impalpable breast lesions and it is the only screening method commonly accepted to be of any real value. In the aftermath of the Forrest report (1) a limited mammography screening programme has been established in the UK. This will mean that many more women, of whom a majority will be asymptomatic, will pr...
