Pilot trial of cryoprobe-assisted breast-conserving surgery for small ultrasound-visible cancers
2003
Background: Stereotactic and ultrasonography-guided large core needle biopsy has replaced wire localization biopsy as the diagnostic method of choice. Lumpectomy alternatives are being sought to eliminate the need for preoperative wire localization, to facilitate easier and more accurate resection, and to decrease positive margin rates. Cryoprobe-assisted lumpectomy (CAL) was investigated as an alternative.
