Image-Guided Percutaneous Ablation of Small Breast Cancer: Which Technique is Leading the Pack?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past few decades, the surgical treatment of early breast cancer has evolved from radical mastectomy to breast conservation surgery and the current practice of segmental mastectomy and radiotherapy. As these less invasive techniques have gained acceptance with excellent long-term rates of local-regional control, there has been a growing interest in the surgical community in techniques to ablate the primary tumor percutaneously with the ultimate goal of omitting the need for surgical excision of the primary tumor.
