Nonsurgical Ablation of Breast Cancer: Future Options for Small Breast Tumors.

Nonsurgical Ablation of Breast Cancer: Future Options for Small Breast Tumors. Surg Oncol Clin N Am. 2014 Jul;23(3):593-608 Authors: Sabel MS Abstract The surgical management of breast cancer has evolved significantly, facilitated by advancements in technology and imaging and improvements in adjuvant therapy. The changes in surgical management have been characterized by equal or improved outcomes with significantly less morbidity. The next step in this evolution is the minimally invasive or noninvasive ablation of breast cancers as an alternative to lumpectomy. In this article, the various modalities for nonsurgical breast cancer ablation and the clinical experience are reviewed, and some of the next steps necessary for their clinical implementation are outlined.
