Study Summary

This trial looks at whether cryoablation, a treatment that uses freezing to destroy cancer cells, is effective on its own, without the need for lumpectomy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 50 or older with early-stage breast cancer. Eligible participants have a single, small tumor (≤1.5 cm) that's visible on an ultrasound and has certain characteristics: it must be invasive ductal carcinoma, not too aggressive (Nottingham grade 1-2), hormone receptor-positive, HER2 negative, and suitable for cryoablation treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Ice3 Trial is testing the effectiveness of using a technique called cryoablation with the Ice-Sense3TM/ProSenseTM system to treat low-risk small breast cancers without performing lumpectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can prevent the cancer from coming back locally or spreading elsewhere.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cryoablation may cause side effects such as pain at the treatment site, bruising, skin numbness or frostbite-like effects due to freezing temperatures used during the procedure. There might also be risks associated with not removing the tumor surgically.
