DCIS Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether cryoablation, or freezing tumors, is an effective alternative to surgery for early-stage breast cancer and small areas of DCIS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a condition called Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) in the breast, who haven't had surgery or radiation on the same breast. They should not be pregnant or have been pregnant in the last 6 months and must have enough breast volume for cryoablation. The DCIS should span 2 cm or less as seen on mammography or MRI.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing cryoablation, which involves freezing tumor cells as an alternative to traditional surgery. It's being studied to see if it can completely destroy small areas of DCIS without needing surgical removal.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cryoablation may cause side effects such as pain at the treatment site, swelling, skin changes, and possible damage to nearby tissues due to freezing.
