The FROST Trial (Freezing Alone Instead of Resection Of Small Breast Tumors: A Study of Cryoablation in the Management of Early Stage Breast Cancer (Clinicaltrials.gov #NCT01992250) ​ This non-randomized study examines the use of cryoablation as an alternative to surgery in the treatment of early stage invasive breast cancer. The hypothesis is that cryoablation will complete ablation and destroy the tumor in a selected population of women who may otherwise be adequately treated with surgery.
