The MOLLI Surgical Localization System is a cutting-edge technology set to revolutionise breast cancer surgery at HSN.
The MOLLI Surgical Localization System represents a major leap forward in breast cancer care. Each year, over 120 women undergo breast biopsies at HSN to diagnose breast cancer tumours. MOLLI, a wire-free localization system developed by MOLLI Surgical, is designed to improve the precision and efficiency of breast cancer surgery. By using a small tissue marker implanted near the tumour and a wand to detect the marker’s location, surgeons can more accurately remove tumours, potentially leading to smaller incisions, less pain, and better cosmetic outcomes for patients.
HSN is the first hospital in Northern Ontario to implement MOLLI technology, reinforcing its commitment to providing world class cancer care, rooted in excellence, to patients of Northern Ontario.
“I live in Englehart and I was very fortunate to have all the tests done and see specialists so quickly at the Shirley and Jim Fielding Northeast Cancer Centre. I was able to receive the MOLLI implant and surgery on the same day, saving me an extra day of travel and more time to spend at home with my family. Having this new technology at the cancer centre has made my cancer journey so much better.”
- Brenda Hong, the first patient to undergo the innovative treatment using MOLLI technology.
