NCT ID NCT07483996

First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study compares freezing breast tumors (cryoablation) to standard surgery (lumpectomy) in women over 60 with early-stage, hormone-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if cryoablation can control the disease just as well, with fewer side effects. About 938 women will take part, and researchers will track cancer return rates over 5 years.
