ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05218044
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Cryoablation or tumor freezing is a percutaneous, office-based procedure that is emerging as a minimally invasive, cost-effective alternative to surgery that is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for the management of for early-stage invasive breast cancer. The investigator will also evaluate the potential of cryoablation as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for small areas of DCIS by examining its ability to achieve complete ablation of DCIS within the targeted cryoablation zone of necrosis.
