Lais Heideman, BSN, RN, CURN will discuss the Lumea Prostate Biopsy System. Traditional biopsy of a lesion, places the tissue into a bottle full of a preservative called formalin to fix it. The tissues free floats in the bottle losing track of which end of the tissue is which. Tissue orientation is where the proximal and distal (near and far) ends of the tissue are in relationship to the biopsied organ. The inability to preserve orientation means that a physician cannot accurately map a fusion MRI-biospy, flawing potential treatment plans.
