LOOK: San Pedro Hospital of Davao City, Inc. recently achieved another Mindanao first by successfully performing the region’s inaugural Dual-Tracer Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy, a milestone in modern breast cancer care.
This achievement brings cutting-edge, precise cancer treatment closer to Mindanaoans, reducing the need for patients to travel to Metro Manila for advanced procedures.
The Dual-Tracer Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy uses radiotracers to accurately identify the first lymph node affected by cancer, allowing doctors to plan treatment more precisely. For patients, this may mean less invasive surgery, faster recovery, and improved chances for breast-conserving treatment.
With this latest achievement, Davao City continues to solidify its reputation as a leader in healthcare innovation in Mindanao, delivering world-class medical care right at home.
