Although mammography is the gold standard for screening for breast cancer, 10 to 15% of lesions are missed, and this is higher with dense breasts. Alternative diagnostic modalities are being developed. One of these, breast specific gamma imaging (BSGI), which is not effected by dense tissue, utilizes the increased metabolic activity of tumors to localize and distinguish benign from malignant processes in the breast. The test can be used for screening and diagnostic purposes.

BACKGROUND:
When sentinel node dissection reveals breast cancer metastasis, completion axillary lymph node dissection is ideally performed during the same operation. Intraoperative histologic techniques have low and variable sensitivity. A new intraoperative molecular assay (GeneSearch BLN Assay; Veridex, LLC, Warren, NJ) was evaluated to determine its efficiency in identifying significant sentinel lymph node metastases (>.2 mm).
METHODS:
Positive or negative BLN Assay results generated from fresh 2-mm node slabs were compared with results from conventional histologic evaluation of adjacent fixed tissue slabs.
RESULTS:
In a prospective study of 416 patients at 11 clinical sites, the assay …

Honoring Dr. Herbert Cohn
Jefferson Surgical Solutions
On March 28, Mae Gelb of Scranton, Pennsylvania, celebrated her 100th birthday with close friends and family, including her nephew, Herbert E. Cohn, MD, Anthony Narducci Professor and Vice Chair of Surgery, Jefferson. Mrs. Gelb's life has been nearly as healthy as it is long. Aside from giving birth, her only experience as an inpatient was when, in October 1993, at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, she underwent a major operation performed by then-Samuel D. Gross Professor and Chair of Surgery Francis E. Rosato, MD, with moral support from Dr. Cohn. "So many physicians I know have been taught by Herb." …
News In Brief
Jefferson Surgical Solutions
Jefferson's Department of Surgery has been accepted to participate in the American College of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). The lead surgeon for this initiative is Herbert E. Cohn, MD. Developed by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, NSQIP is one of the first outcomes-based, risk-adjusted, peer-controlled programs designed to measure and enhance the quality of surgical care. The program collects data on 133 variables, including preoperative risk factors, intraoperative variables and 30-day mortality and morbidity outcomes data – the latter entered by Kathleen Hartman, RN, BSN, the department's new Surgical Clinical Nurse Reviewer. It will enable …

Objective: This study was designed to identify quantifiable parameters to track performance improvements brought about by the implementation of a critical pathway for complex alimentary tract surgery.
Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex general surgical procedure performed in varying numbers at many academic institutions. Originally associated with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, multiple studies have now shown that this operation can be performed quite safely at high volume institutions that develop a particular expertise. Critical pathways are one of the key tools used to achieve consistently excellent outcomes as these institutions. It remains to be determined if implementation …
