Cryoablation or tumor freezing is a percutaneous, office-based procedure that is emerging as a minimally invasive, cost-effective alternative to surgery that is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for the management of for early-stage invasive breast cancer. The investigator will also evaluate the potential of cryoablation as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for small areas of DCIS by examining its ability to achieve complete ablation of DCIS within the targeted cryoablation zone of necrosis.
DCIS spanning 2 cm or less based on its radiographic appearance by mammography and/or breast contrast-enhanced MRI
Diagnosis of DCIS by minimally invasive needle biopsy
No prior history of DCIS or invasive breast cancer in the same breast
No history of surgical biopsy and/or lumpectomy for diagnosis/treatment in the same breast
None
