NCT ID NCT07398118
First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called cryoablation, which freezes and destroys small breast tumors, as a possible alternative to surgery or hormone therapy for people aged 70 and older with early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and practical. Researchers will track side effects, recovery, and whether additional treatment is needed.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cryoablation (freezing procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer older adults with early-stage breast cancer a less invasive treatment option that avoids surgery and long-term hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study (61 participants) with no control group. The procedure may not fully destroy the tumor, and long-term cancer control is not yet proven.
