For breast cancer patients, aggressive surgical operations has been the only option for many years. Today, thanks to the new technological developments, the vast majority of breast cancers can be treated with cryoablation. In this method, a cryo needle is inserted from the skin and placed into the center of the tumor under local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance. Then the tumor and the surrounding 1cm normal tissue is killed by freezing at -140 degrees. Recent studies have shown that the local...

For breast cancer patients, aggressive surgical operations has been the only option for many years. Today, thanks to the new technological developments, the vast majority of breast cancers can be treated with cryoablation. In this method, a cryo needle is inserted from the skin and placed into the center of the tumor under local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance. Then the tumor and the surrounding 1cm normal tissue is killed by freezing at -140 degrees. Recent studies have shown that the local recurrence rate is less than the surgical treatment in this method. Cryoablation is done through the needle hole, it takes 1 hour and the patient can go home immediately. There is no incision, no stitching, no deformation and no deterioration of breast aesthetics. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women; It was estimated that in one of every 8 women breast cancer would develop in a certain time. Breast cancer accounts for approximately 25% of all cancers in women. It is also seen in males but occurs about 100 times more common in females than males. Breast cancer most often originates from milk channels called 'ducts' (ductal carcinomas) or units of milk glands called 'lobules' (lobular carcinoma). Approximately 10% of breast cancers show familial transition, in which BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations can be detected. In addition, it has been shown that the incidence of breast cancer increases with obesity, sedentary life, hormone medications taken in menopause, alcohol consumption, early puberty and less breastfeeding. However, a significant proportion of patients may not have any risk factors. Call us at (347) 506-2344.
