North York General Hospital here in Canada pioneered radioactive seed localization…They insert 4 seeds into your armpit, later, they remove them & check them for cancer…This is instead of removing lymph nodes to check…It prevents lymphadema & unnecessary removal…My mum’s cleaning lady just had it done…It is brand new! ( which is why Googling it might not be helpful)…
