Detailed Description

A total of more than 200 patients diagnosed with benign breast lesions and 50 patients with malignant breast lesions in two centers of China will be recruited in this study and underwent US-guided percutaneous MWA and cryoablation treatment. Information for each patient includes demographics; longest diameters of tumors; tumor numbers; tumor pathological type; location of tumor according to whether adjacent to skin, pectoralis, areola and papilla. Ablation variables including session, puncture, time, and power; complete ablation, complications; reduction in volume, palpability, pain and cosmetic satisfying outcomes,recurrence,survival will be compared and analyzed.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • (a) the breast tumor obtained the pathological diagnosis by using core-needle biopsy; (b) for the benign lesion, continually increasing during a half year followup,with the symptoms of local pain, discomfortable or compression considered probably relating to the mass of breast; the patient with evidently psychological pressure due to the occurrence of the BBL despite clearly benignancy on imaging; (c) for the malignant lesion, with the tumor size smaller than 2cm and without other metastasis.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • (a) the patients who were pregnant or breast-feeding; (b) the patients with evidence of coagulopathy or acute or severe pulmonary insufficiency or heart dysfunction; (c) the patients during menstrual period; (d) the patients referring to other therapies including surgical excision and vacuum-assisted biopsy.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: microwave ablation
Microwave ablation（MWA）refers to all electromagnetic methods of inducing tumor destruction by using devices with frequencies greater than or equal to 900MHz. The rotation of dipole molecules accounts for most of the heat generated during MWA. Water molecules as dipoles attempt to continuously reorient at the same rate in microwave's oscillating electric field. As a result of microwave transmission, the water molecules flip back and forth billions of times a second. The vigorous movement of water molecules produce friction and heat, thus inducing cellular death via coagulation necrosis. The microwave unit (KY-2000, Kangyou Medical, Nanjing, China) is capable of producing 100 Watts of power at 2450 MHz.The needle antenna has a diameter of 1.6 mm (16G) and a length of 10 cm. The active tip length is 3mm and 5mm.
Procedure: microwave ablation
Microwave ablation and cryoablation are both thermal ablation techniques for minimally invasive treatment of breast tumor. They are performed percutaneously by ultrasound guidance.The tumor can be completely killed without injurying adjacent tissue.
Other Names:
  • cryoablation
Active Comparator: cryoablation
Clinically, cryosurgery is accomplished by placing a cryoprobe(up to 3.5 mm) through a stab incision into the tumor under ultrasound guidance.Liquid nitrogen is utilized under low operating pressure as cryogen which is controlled by the computer modulated cryogen regulator. The cryoprobe achieves rapid freezing by means of an active freeze zone at its distal tip.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
overall survival
Time Frame: 5 year
5 year
volume reduce rate
Time Frame: 3 year
divide the volume of ablation zone by unablated lesion volume
3 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
local tumor progress
Time Frame: 5 year
any nodular occurence adjacent to the ablation zone during the follow-up
5 year
metastasis
Time Frame: 5 year
any nodular occurence keeping away from the ablation zone during the follow-up
5 year
complication
Time Frame: 5 year
numbers of participants with side effect and major complications

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
