Abstract

Cryoablation has been used to treat both benign and malignant breast tumors. In all but one published case, cryoablation in breast cancer has been followed by post-procedural tumor resection. We present a case of an 85-year-old woman with two nonpalpable breast cancers treated with cryoablation with 18 months of mammographic, ultrasound and histologic follow-up.
