In the media: The hospital's Axxent FlexiShield Mini study-treatment adjunct to the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy breast cancer treatment has been recalled. The F.D.A., which had approved the Mini on an expedited basis, is looking into the unexpected deposit of tungsten particles in patients' tissue which the device seems to have caused. The Mini, developed by Xoft and now owned by iCAD Inc., was found to have left study patients -- including 27 from Hoag -- "riddled ... with hundreds of tiny particles of the heavy metal tungsten in their breast tissue and chest muscles" after surgery. Long-term implications of the particles have not yet been established, but they trigger false positives in mammograms and concern patients and observers. The Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy has not been recalled.[1]
