Record-breaking fundraising supports advanced surgical technology.
A recent energy hike has generated substantial funds that will be used to acquire a magnetic ball detection device for the Center-de-la-Mauricie hospital, enhancing the precision of tumor removal surgeries.
Magnetic Ball Technology Improves Tumor Removal
the magnetic ball detection device promises to significantly aid surgeons during operations aimed at removing tumors.According to hospital sources, “the magnetic ball detection device will facilitate the work of surgeons during surgical interventions which aim to remove a tumor.It is an innovative technique that allows you to locate the tumor in the breast,and this,in a very precise way.”
Magnetic seed localization (MSL) is a radiation-free alternative to customary wire localization for breast cancer surgery. A tiny magnetic seed is placed in the tumor up to 30 days before surgery, allowing for more flexible scheduling and improved patient comfort. Breastcancer.org
Participants Active for the Cause
Approximately 200 participants in the energy hike – Uniprix Pellerin & Bureau engaged in various activities such as walking, running, cycling, yoga, and crossfit to support the cause. Each participant chose their preferred discipline and completed their challenge between May 31 and June 7.
Participants were given the versatility to move at their own pace, at the place and time of their choosing. This year’s event saw a record amount collected, demonstrating strong community support.
