The ChoICE Clinical Trial is now enrolling for additional opportunities to study breast cancer cryoablation in women aged 70 and older. 🩺

The ChoICE Trial builds on the landmark ICE3 Trial and will further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation for selected patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Breast cancer cryoablation has come a long way. ❄️

I'm Dr. Holmes, an internationally recognized breast surgeon with over two decades of experience dedicated to advancing breast cancer treatment, specifically through cryoablation.

From the pioneering work in Japan to the ICE3 and FROST clinical trials, research has continued to shape our understanding of when cryoablation can be safely and effectively used to treat breast cancer.

I've been fortunate to participate in several of these studies, and I'm encouraged by what the research continues to show for appropriately selected patients.

There is still work to be done, but the future of breast cancer treatment is moving forward. Learn more about the research and clinical trials behind cryoablation at www.cryoablation.com.🤍

Less invasive. Targeted treatment. A different approach to breast cancer care without requiring surgery. 🤍

Cryoablation uses ultrasound guidance and extreme cold to target and destroy breast cancer cells without surgically removing the tumor.

Cryoablation is intended to eliminate the need for breast surgery, but it does not necessarily eliminate the need for other cancer treatments.

Depending on your individual diagnosis and risk of recurrence, you may still be advised to receive radiation, anti-estrogen therapy, chemotherapy, lymph node surgery, or other treatments if any of those treatments are needed to prevent cancer recurrence. 🩺

My goal is to help you understand the complete picture so you can make informed decisions about your care.

One potential advantage of cryoablation is that it is minimally invasive and generally associated with fewer complications than breast surgery.🤍

Because cryoablation does not require removing breast tissue, patients may also experience a shorter recovery and fewer surgical effects.

Like any breast cancer treatment, cryoablation cannot guarantee that cancer will never return.

The success of cryoablation depends on accurately identifying and completely treating the cancer. That's why careful imaging, precise targeting, appropriate follow-up, and additional treatments when recommended are all important parts of care.🤍
