NCT ID NCT05505643
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a freezing technique called cryoablation to standard lumpectomy surgery in people with low-risk, early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if freezing the tumor offers similar disease control with fewer complications and better quality of life. About 120 participants will be enrolled, starting with a safety check of the freezing procedure.
