About this trial

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence rates in patients with early-stage breast cancer between patients treated with breast conserving surgery and patient treated with percutaneous cryo-ablation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence

Proportion of ipsilateral breast cancer recurrences (IBTR) after 5 years in both study arms.

Time frame
Until 5 years after the intervention

Secondary outcomes

1

Complication Rate

The proportion of complications within 30 days (percentage Clavien-Dindo classification).

Time frame
Within 30 days after the intervention
2

Regional breast cancer recurrences

Regional breast cancer recurrences, defined as clinically, radiologically, and/or histologically confirmed recurrence in regional lymph nodes.

Time frame
Until 5 years after the intervention
3

Disease Free Survival

Disease free survival (DFS) is defined as the time from date of intervention to the first occurrence of recurrent disease of the same histological characteristics as the primary tumor and in the same quadrant as the primary tumor

Time frame
until 15 years after the intervention
4

Overall Survival

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from breast cancer diagnosis to death from any cause.

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 15 years

Other outcomes

1

Any other parameters

To explore patient- or tumor-related factors that may influence complete ablation or surgical outcomes, including breast density and other relevant parameters.

Time frame
until the end of the study, which is an average of 5 years
