Ultrasound-guided cryoablation of early breast cancer: safety, technical efficacy, patients’ satisfaction, and outcome prediction with MRI/CEM: a pilot case-control study
Ultrasound-guided cryoablation was effective and safe in early BC patients. The procedure was well-tolerated, with low morbidity and high patient satisfaction. MRI and CEM predicted cryoablation efficacy, in accordance with histopathologic findings. Cryoablation can be considered a potential alternative to surgery in selected patients.
