SALALI (the Southern African Lymphoma and Leukaemia Initiative)
Enlarged lymph nodes are a common clinical problem in Southern Africa, the epicentre of the HIV and TB epidemic.
Lymphoma is the 5th most common cancer globally, and in developed countries the MOST common cancer in people living with HIV.
The dilemma in Southern Africa is that lymphoma, TB and HIV share overlapping symptoms and often the diagnosis of lymphoma are made very late.
At Groote Schuur Hospital in South Africa we have created a diagnostic pathway which employs accurate point of care tools to accurately diagnose enlarged lymph nodes.
We have created a best care diagnostic pathway called the Rapid Access Diagnostic Lymphadenopathy Clinic (RADLAC) to educate healthcare workers and empower them with best care practice for the early and accurate diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes.
This vision will be rolled out to other centres in Southern Africa as a direct solution to the dilemma of inaccurate diagnoses.

This presentation by Prof Estelle Verburgh from the Department of Haematology, Groote Schuur Hospital/University of Cape Town aims to address this dilemma by highlighting the problem and giving practical solutions to improve patient care.

So, I understand with semiautomatic system, if you use ultrasound you can see for how long you penetrate with the needle, because when you fire the needle just retracts. With automatic system, you have to stimate the 15-20mm the needle is going to penetrate far away your position. Is that correct? Thank you very much for your explanations
Thanks, very helpful🎉
Wonderful demo Dr Salali! Thanks! Dr. Aravindh Radhakrishnan, General, Paediatric & Minimal Access Surgeon, Tamil Nadu, India

I had a horrible experience. They said they hit a nerve. But I felt everything when the biopsy needle went in. I felt it give way like a punch and stab my liver. It was the worst pain ive ever experienced. Not smooth at all. Then he clicked it after the mri scan and the pain was unimaginable. Immediately I couldn't breath and pain shot into my shoulder. I could hardly hold still for him so i didn't damage anything. They shot me with fentinol. I heard the nurse and CT tech when the Dr left and said why does this Dr always under medicate. It's been a week and I feel pressure and uncomfortable pains in the area inside me were I felt the needle deep breaths are uncomfortable sometimes sting me. I dont make a fuss over anything normally this was traumatic for me.
Mine was not as traumatic, but had a couple of oops. Will tell anyone I know, never do this. It has been since 2019, never had radiation or chem. The depth of the lesion and size was only the size of a 1/2 pea, and superficial ( not deep). Now because of where the needle traveled and the extra tissue removed ( the lie that they tell you they need )., My breast has scarring . I should have listened to my first thought. However thank God I didn't fall for the treatment.
I'm having this done on Monday
