Nearly all invasive breast cancers arise out of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which is commonly called pre-invasive breast cancer or non-invasive breast cancer. If not for the risk of invasive cancer and its potential to metastasize, surgical removal of DCIS would be completely unnecessary. Cryoablation or tumor freezing is a minimally invasive office procedure that has the potential to replace surgery as an invasive cancer prevention option for women with small areas of DCIS. This campaign is seeking to raise funding to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the use of cryoablation as a minimally-invasive invasive breast cancer treatment option for women with DCIS measuring 2 cm or less based on standard breast imaging (Ultrasound, Mammogram, +/- breast MRI).
