Freeze Away Breast Cancer

Everything you need to know about freezing breast tumors Learning that you have breast cancer is not easy. Normally, the standard methods of treatments ordered may be limited; however, based upon the size and position of the tumor, you may be a candidate for this much simpler procedure that has fewer side effects. Cryoablation is a groundbreaking new treatment that freezes breast tumors without removal of any breast tissue. This procedure has been used for many years on liver, skin, and cervical cancers, as well as benign tumors of the breast. It is not until recently, however, that cryoablation has been adapted to successfully treat various forms of breast cancer. Dr. Dennis R. Holmes, an experienced surgeon specializing in breast cancers, and Ingrid L. Edstrom, a nurse practitioner specializing in women’s breast health, have written the first guide that explains clearly what breast cancer is, how this type of treatment works, and when it can be used. Because this is a new procedure for breast cancer, it is important to find a doctor with the appropriate experience in performing cryoablation—and this book provides you with the right questions to ask. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Based on this all-too-real fact, it’s vital to know the best options of treatments. With Freeze Away Breast Cancer in hand, you will know whether cryoablation is the best option for you.
