La cryoablation pour le traitement du cancer du sein (en anglais)

According to IceCure Medical, a doctor working under a research protocol at Kameda Medical Centre, Japan, has treated 58 breast cancer patients with cryoablation over the last six years. As of now, none of the patients have suffered from a tumour reoccurring or from distant metastases.

This process of cryoablation under image guidance, called IceSense3, usually takes 10-15 min, causes no bleeding, no pain and virtually no scar as no sutures are required.

Dr Fukuma is now planning to expand his research to a larger number of patients, including patients with larger tumors. Cryoablation attracted high levels of attention at the 2013 conference of the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS).
