Zapping breast cancer with heat: a new local treatment tested

NCT ID NCT04389216

Summary

This study tested a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which uses heat to destroy small breast tumors. It involved 30 patients with early-stage breast cancer to see if the treatment was safe and effective at removing the cancer. Doctors followed patients for two years to check for side effects, cosmetic results, and whether the cancer came back.
