£17k of funds raised at the 2023 Bridge Event were used to purchase a Gamma Probe for the Nuclear Medicine and PET/CT department at The Royal Marsden, Chelsea.
The Nuclear Medicine Department performs sentinel node imaging for patients with melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas (head and neck) and vulval carcinoma's, in order to indentify the lymph nodes to which the cancer might have spread. This is an essential step in the patient's disease assessment and management. As part of this sentinel node imaging, the Nuclear Medicine Technologist uses the Gamma Probe to mark the precise location of the sentinel node on the patient's skin. Surgeons often find it difficult to locate tissues, such as tumors, parathyroid glands, and lymph nodes, within the human body. Proper use of the Gamma Probe allows the surgeon to make a smaller incision and have greater confidence that exploration was successful, and the tissues of interest have been located. This benefits the patient by enabling more accurate disease staging and also decreases occupational radiation impact for the Technologist.
