CRYO-TOUCH: Cryoablation of the Primary Breast Tumor in Metastatic Breast Cancer

Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Metastatic breast cancer remains an incurable disease for most patients. While surgical treatment of the primary breast tumor is commonly performed in localized breast cancer, its role in metastatic breast cancer remains controversial due to the lack of demonstrated survival benefit and the potential interruption of systemic anticancer therapies. Cryoablation is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that destroys tumor tissue through controlled freezing. In localized breast cancer, cryoablation has shown promising results regarding local tumor control, safety, and patient quality of life. However, evidence regarding its use in metastatic breast cancer remains limited.The primary objective of this prospective single-center cohort study is to evaluate local tumor control 12 months after cryoablation of the primary breast tumor in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cryoablation

Participants with metastatic breast cancer and an eligible primary breast tumor undergoing cryoablation as part of their clinical management. Participants will undergo cryoablation of the primary breast tumor and will be followed for 12 months. Study-specific procedures include baseline and 12-month breast MRI assessments, pain evaluations, quality-of-life questionnaires, safety assessments, and implementation questionnaires.

OTHER

Patient-Reported Outcome Assessment

Assessment of patient-reported outcomes including quality of life (BREAST-Q questionnaire), pain evaluation, and patient experience questionnaires evaluating acceptability and appropriateness of cryoablation.
