Reducing the Risk of Needle Tract Seeding or Tumor Cell Dissemination during Needle Biopsy Procedures
Many women fear that breast needle biopsies increase the risk of cancer spread due to tumor cell displacement. Although evidence suggests minimal impact on breast cancer loco-regional recurrence or distant metastasis, technical modifications of needle biopsy procedures, including the use of cryoablation, can reduce the potential risks of breast needle-biopsy-induced cancer cell displacement to reduce patient fears of breast needle biopsy procedures.

A Phase II Trial Exploring the Success of Cryoablation Therapy in the Treatment of Invasive Breast Carcinoma: Results from ACOSOG (Alliance) Z1072
Cryoablation is a well-established technique to treat fibroadenomas. Pilot studies suggest this could be an effective non-surgical treatment for breast cancer. American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z1072 is a phase II trial exploring the effectiveness of cryoablation in the treatment of breast cancers.
