A consultant radiation oncologist, Dr. Oludare Adeyemi of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), has announced that he has achieved a breakthrough in Bosom cancer treatment.
He disclosed that he recently treated a Bosom cancer patient without mastectomy (process of removing the Bosom because of cancer).
He described the treatment as “micro-seed treatment”, which requires using radioactive seeds.
Dr. Adeyemi who disclosed this while chatting with journalists in Benin City, advised women to go for regular screening for Bosom cancer in order to detect the disease early.
He explained the new procedure for treating Bosom cancer was first performed in Canada about two years ago and is now being practiced in few places in the USA, but that his was the first in Africa.

“This micro-seeds treatment is the first in the whole of Africa. It has come to Africa through Nigeria,” explaining that the procedure conserves a Bosom and that conserving a Bosom is vital for cosmetic reasons.
Dr. Adeyemi further explained that micro-seeds treatment takes a day procedure, unlike the conventional radiotherapy that takes four weeks to be completed.
“The procedure is done when micro-seeds are placed in the tumor bed under ultrasound-guided” but “it must be emphasized that micro-seeds treatment procedure is only appropriate for now, for early Bosom cancer”,
