Breast Cancer Cryoablation in the Multidisciplinary Setting: Practical Guidelines for Patients and Physicians

Breast cancer cryoablation has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to lumpectomy for treating early-stage breast cancer. However, no consensus exists on what should be considered the standard of care for the multidisciplinary management of patients treated with breast cancer cryoablation. In lieu of national guidelines, this review of the literature provides a multidisciplinary framework and an evidence-based discussion of the integration of "standard of care practices" in the comprehensive management of breast cancer cryoablation patients.
