Detect Cancer Quick Campaign

The Mammotome is a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAC) device that uses image guidance such as x-ray, ultrasound and/or MRI to perform breastbiopsies. The benefits of a mammotome biopsy include: The incision requires no sutures; hence, they are more aesthetically pleasing than an open surgical biopsy. Image guidance helps to locate the abnormal tissue site precisely. The procedure is minimally invasive, and recovery is quick, so patients can return to normal activities immediately. An endocavity probe is a specialized medical device used for internal imaging, particularly for gynecological and urological purposes. It allows for detailed images of internal structures due to its proximity and its ability to facilitate insertion and maneuverability within the body cavity. Having this available in the Emergency Department will speed up the process of detecting cancer.
