[Histonet] RE: breast tissue and radioactive seeds

[Garrison, Becky]

If this is the I-125 seed localization procedure for breast casses: our Radiology dept here does this and I can tell you what we do here.

Subject: [Histonet] breast tissue and radioactive seeds

Hi Everyone,
After 5 years of being in the private sector I am now back in the wonderful environment of a hospital setting as the Histology supervisor.  We are going to be starting a new procedure here called "Conversion to Radioactive Seed Localized Breast Surgery" and I have been asked to come to this meeting.  As I have been strictly in Dermatology for the past few years I am not familiar with this process.  I have dealt with the prostate radioactive seeds before but not sure if this will involve the Histology lab in the form of surgical tissue or not.  I would like to be as informed as possible before the meeting which is next week, so I came to the source I value the most.  Can anyone share any information with me?

Thanks so much,
Kaye
