New Device Destroys Breast Tumors With Extreme Cold

By Natassia Gerrard, NoCamels July 01, 2012 6 Comments

Cryoablation, a process which uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy diseased tissue, has been used by medical experts for years to treat both malignant and benign tumors, mostly in the kidneys and prostate.
An Israeli biomedical company, IceCure Medical, has taken the technology into the field of breast tumors. Their system, called IceSense3, has been specifically developed to treat fibroadenomas, which are the most common type of benign breast tumors, typically seen in young women aged 15 to 30.
The system is currently being used worldwide for treatment of the benign lumps, but now also holds promise as a potential treatment option for malignant breast tumors, after a successful clinical trial on four women in Japan.

IceSense3 is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to guide a small hollow needle into the fibroadenoma. The system then uses extremely cold temperatures of -170 degrees Celsius to destroy the targeted tissues without removing any breast tissue.
There are a few other links on this site, which are really worth looking at, regarding cancer.
