Abstract

A systematic review of the clinical safety and efficacy of percutaneous breast cancer cryoablation was performed. Of 202 papers screened, seven matched the inclusion criteria. Cryoablation was mainly performed under ultrasound guidance, and on average two cryoprobes were used. Complete local tumor control was noted in 73% of patients (mean follow-up, 8 mo). No major complications were noted. The cosmetic outcome was satisfactory. Breast cancer cryoablation is safe, although local tumor control is suboptimal. The best results are achieved with small (<15 mm) ductal tumors treated by application of multiple cryoprobes.
