Wireless gamma probe for radioguided Sentinel lymph Node (SLN) Localization WProbe: Exploring new frontiers in radioguided cancer surgery

Since 2007 ONCOVISION has been fully committed to help you improve your high standards in Minimally Invasive Radio- guided Surgery (MIRS) with an innovative radioguided technological platform that is revolutionizing the surgical management of malignancies such us breast cancer, melanoma, gynecological, urological and colorectal cancers, and parathyroid diseases. Sentinella and WProbe provide you the perfect combination, to be used together or independently, to guide you through even the most complex Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) localizations in the management of your cancer patients9.

What is radioguided surgery and how does it work? The concept of the Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) as the first node to have metastatic involvement if there has been lymphatic spread was proposed by Dr. R. Cabañas in 1977. The first accepted technique to identify the SLN was using blue dye (intraoperative visualization); soon, however, the use of radionuclides and intraoperative gamma probes (intraoperative counting) came on board as a complementary yet more reliable technique3. However, the latest breakthrough in radiosurgery is Sentinella, an intraoperative portable gammacamera...
