After a median follow-up of 16 months, the complete ablation rate in Luminal A and B breast cancer tumors ≤ 25mm was 100% Study concluded that most non-surgical patients with early-stage breast cancer accepted cryoablation when the treatment was offered and that cryoablation is a safe, effective alternative to surgery and well-tolerated as an out-patient procedure CAESAREA, Israel , Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM ) ("IceCure", "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today announced the publication of an independent study titled "Acceptance and results of cryoablation for the treatment of early breast cancer in non-surgical patients" in the British Journal of Radiology , a publication of the British Institute of Radiology.
The single-site study, led by Lucia L. Garna Lopez , PhD, was conducted by researchers in the radiology, oncology, and surgery departments at Hospital Lucus Augusti in Lugo, Spain . The aim of the study was to evaluate the acceptance of percutaneous cryoablation treatment by patients with early-stage breast cancer who choose not to have surgery.
Of the 45 patients offered cryoablation with ProSense®, 43 patients, or 95.6% accepted. 36 of these, representing 39 malignant tumors (median size 24mm), proceeded to undergo cryoablation.
"This study is a good case in point that when women who elect n.
