Abstract

The development of diagnostic methods and screening leads to early detection of breast cancer, which is why aspirations are moving towards more conservative local treatment methods. New, non invasive and minimally invasive methods, should att ain same local control, with less cosmetic defects, side eff ects and complications compared to standard surgery. Five methods are being researched in clinical trials: cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, laser ablation, microwave ablation and ablation by focused high intensity ultrasound waves. Although some results are promising, these methods need further technical development and prospective comparison with today’s golden standard - oncoplastic breast surgery.
