Cryoablation for fibroadenoma with liquid nitrogen based system: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast lesion found on core needle biopsies. Surgical excision is the standard of care for these lesions. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation in treating multiple fibroadenomas, including large lesions.

Methods

A liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation system was used to treat histologically confirmed benign fibroadenomas under ultrasound guidance at Premier Med Healthcare, Training, and Research Institute between 2017 and 2022. The number and times of freeze-thaw-freeze treatment cycles and the number of cryoprobe relocations were determined according to the location and size of the fibroadenomas. Sequential cryoprobe relocation was performed in case of large or
