Heat zap after lumpectomy may cut breast cancer return and second surgeries
NCT ID NCT01153035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether applying radiofrequency ablation (a heat treatment) to the area where a breast tumor was removed can kill any leftover cancer cells and reduce the need for a second surgery. It involves 104 women aged 50 and older with early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if this extra step lowers the chance of cancer coming back near the surgery site over 5 years.
