Cryoablation: The latest treatment for breast tumors
How cryoablation works
Cryoablation destroys non-cancerous breast tumors (fibroadenomas) by freezing them at below -170°C, the temperature at which tumor cells die. A needle as small as 3 mm in diameter injects liquid nitrogen through the tip of needle which is inserted through the skin and into the tissue to be removed. The tumor quickly freezes causing the cells to die. Ultrasound is utilized during the procedure to clearly locate the tumor and monitor the size of the ice ball. Patients are left with a small scar of only 3 mm.
Who performs the procedure?
The procedure will be led by a surgeon specializing in breast surgery working with a multidisciplinary team of doctors.

- Over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed with fibroadenoma with a core needle biopsy
