Freezing breast tumors: a new hope for metastatic cancer control?

This study investigates cryoablation, a procedure that freezes and destroys tumor tissue, for treating the primary breast tumor in women with metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to see if this minimally invasive approach can control the local tumor for 12 months while patients continue their standard systemic therapy. The trial will also assess pain, quality of life, and safety. It includes 42 women whose metastatic disease is stable or responding to treatment.
