Purpose

This is a subject registry study of patients who undergo cryoablation for their breast cancer after being determined not to be surgical candidates. Data collected as part of this registry will be used to assess the safety of percutaneous ultrasound-guided cryoablation in this population as well as provide long-term follow-up of subjects who received cryoablation.

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Cryoablation Following pre-procedural imaging evaluation, patients will receive ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoablation as part of their routine treatment of their breast cancer. Follow up imaging (if tolerated) will be performed at 6 months and 12 months and annually thereafter for until 3 years post-procedure. Data will be collected on patient demographics, disease characteristics, treatment, treatment complications, follow-up imaging, response (for 3 years post-procedure), and quality of life.
  • Device: Cryoablation
    Takes place at single time point.
