Cryoablation as a Minimally Invasive Alternative to Surgery for Managing Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (NCT05218044)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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.
