Acceptance and results of cryoablation for the treatment of early breast cancer in non-surgical patients.

Objectives: Evaluate acceptance of percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) treatment by patients with early breast cancer (BC) who choose not to have surgery and present our experience in the use of PCA for the local control of BC in this group of patients.

Methods: All biopsy-proven early BC diagnosed in our institution as non-surgical patients between January 2020 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. We recorded if PCA was offered and if it was accepted by the patient.
