US Patent:

6375634, Apr 23, 2002

Filed:

Apr 6, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/286516

Inventors:

Robert G. Carroll - Largo FL

Assignee:

Oncology Innovations, Inc. - Largo FL

International Classification:

A61N 130

US Classification:

604 19, 604 13, 606 41, 606 1

Abstract:

Methods for conducting an operation on a living organism are provided, including methods in which a channel is provided around a tissue of the organism, and an encapsulating composition is infused into the channel to encapsulate the tissue in a capsule. The capsule impedes materials encapsulated therein from migrating to other tissues outside the capsule. Also provided are apparatuses for performing methods of the invention. In addition, an improved method of radiation therapy, in which a locally persistent radiation enhancing agent, such as iron dextran or colloidal chromic phosphate P-32, is administered in or near a tissue to be treated, is provided. The methods and apparatuses are especially useful in the treatment and removal of tumors.

US Classification:

600436, 600562, 250362, 604 27, 604 28, 604 9601

Abstract:

A probe or sheath for use on a probe for detecting and removing radioactively tagged tissue, e. g. , a sentinel lymph node, within the body of a living being. The probe or sheath and probe is arranged to be inserted through a small percutaneous portal into the patients body and is movable to various positions adjacent the tagged tissue to detect the presence of radiation therefrom so that it can be positioned immediately adjacent that tissue to ensnare or trap that tissue. The probe or sheath and probe can then be removed from the beings body, carrying the tagged tissue with it. The probe may be constructed to make use of a scintillation crystal, a collimator, adjustable or fixed, and a backshielding lightpipe. A blunt dissecting device is provided as part of the sheath or as part of the probe itself to aid in separating the tagged tissue from adjacent tissue without injury to the adjacent tissue. The probe may be a fully integrated, self-powered unit.

Appl. No.:

8/889469

Inventors:

Robert G. Carroll - Largo FL
Robin A. Wise - Morgan Hill CA

Assignee:

Carewise Medical Products Corporation - Morgan Hill CA

International Classification:

G01T 1161
A61B 600
A61K 5100

US Classification:

424111

Abstract:

A system for detecting and destroying living tumor tissue within the body of a living being. The system is arranged to be used with a tumor localizing radiopharmaceutical. The system includes a percutaneously insertable radiation detecting probe, an associated analyzer, and a percutaneously insertable tumor removing instrument, e. g. , a resectoscope. The radiation detecting probe includes a needle unit having a radiation sensor component therein and a handle to which the needle unit is releasably mounted. The needle is arranged to be inserted through a small percutaneous portal into the patient's body and is movable to various positions within the suspected tumor to detect the presence of radiation indicative of cancerous tissue. The probe can then be removed and the tumor removing instrument inserted through the portal to destroy and/or remove the cancerous tissue. The instrument not only destroys the tagged tissue, but also removes it from the body of the being so that it can be assayed for radiation to confirm that the removed tissue is cancerous and not healthy tissue.

Inventors:

Robert G. Carroll - Largo FL

Assignee:

Care Wise Medical Products Corporation - Morgan Hill CA

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

600436

Abstract:

A system and method for providing external therapy radiation to radioactively tagged cancerous tissue via a radiation therapy machine. The system includes at least one radiation detector, e. g. , a probe or gamma camera, and an analyzer, which is(are) arranged to be mounted with respect to the radiation therapy machine so that it(they) is(are) located adjacent the patient for receiving gamma rays and characteristic x rays emitted from the tagged cancerous tissue and for providing a signal representative thereof to the analyzer. The signal includes a first portion representing the characteristic x rays received from the tagged tissue and a second portion representing the gamma rays received therefrom. The portion of the signal corresponding to Compton-scattered photons is removed in the region of the full-energy gamma ray and in the region of the characteristic x ray. The analyzer uses selected portions of the signal to provide near-field information about the cancerous tissue, far-field information about the cancerous tissue, and extended field information about the cancerous tissue.
