Hologic Renews Focus for Breast Health with CE Mark Extension
Hologic is wasting little time putting the focus back on its breast health offerings. The Marlborough, MA-based company received an extension of a CE mark for the LOCalizer radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag for long-term placement.
The tag can now be implanted more than 30 days before a breast-conserving surgery, providing even greater flexibility and convenience to patients and providers.
The LOCalizer wire-free guidance system is a non-radioactive, radiofrequency localization system designed for precise marking and targeting of lesions in breast-conserving surgery. It was designed to replace the traditional wire-g...

Tumors backfire on chemotherapy
Some patients with breast cancer receive chemotherapy before the tumor is removed with surgery. This approach, called 'neoadjuvant' therapy, helps to reduce the size of the tumor to facilitate breast-conserving surgery, and can even eradicate the tumor, leaving few or no cancerous cells for the surgeon to remove. In those cases, the patients are very likely to remain cancer-free for life after surgery. (Source: World Pharma News)

The federal safety watchdog said the GammaPod is designed to treat a portion of the breast in conjunction with breast-conserving surgery. It uses an array of 36 Cobalt-60 sources to beam radiation from within a two-layer vacuum cup that immobilizes the breast to minimize damage to adjacent healthy tissue.
GammaPod is not intended to replace whole-breast radiation therapy and has not been shown to be as effective as that technique, the FDA said. The clearance was b...

Why More Women Are Getting a Double Mastectomy
Recent research has shown that despite more having more treatment options, women with cancer in one breast are increasingly choosing to remove both breasts—even though experts in the field say the procedure is not necessarily accompanied by better outcomes.
Now, a new study published Wednesday in JAMA Surgery finds that the increase is being driven in part by their surgeons.
Doctors generally discourage contralateral prophylactic mastectomy—also known as CPM, or the removal of a healthy breast when the other has cancer—for women at an average risk for additional breast cancer. They do recommend it for wo...
