Core Viewpoint - IceCure Medical Ltd. showcased its ProSense® cryoablation technology at the 19th Annual St. Gallen Breast Cancer Conference, highlighting its growing commercial traction and the positive outcomes from multiple independent studies presented at the event [1][2][3]. Company Overview - IceCure Medical develops minimally invasive cryoablation systems that utilize liquid nitrogen to destroy tumors by freezing, focusing on breast, kidney, lung, and liver cancers [5][7]. - The ProSense® system is designed to enhance patient recovery, reduce pain, and minimize surgical risks, making it suitable for office-based procedures [6][7]. Conference Highlights - Six studies on ProSense® were accepted as peer-reviewed abstracts and presented at the conference, with all being published in the scientific journal, The Breast [1][3]. - The conference attracted oncologists and breast surgeons, indicating the significance of the event in the oncology field [3]. Study Summaries - The ICE3 trial demonstrated that cryoablation with ProSense®, combined with adjuvant therapy, is a viable alternative to surgical excision for early-stage, low-risk breast cancer, with a 5-year ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) rate of 3.61% [4]. - An independent study expanded the ICE3 criteria to include triple-negative breast cancer, showing that ProSense® can effectively treat T1 breast cancers [4]. - The THERMAC trial compared different thermal ablation methods, concluding that cryoablation with ProSense® achieved a complete ablation rate of 94%, with no adverse events reported [4]. - A study on non-surgical patients indicated that ProSense® cryoablation is a safe and effective outpatient procedure, achieving complete tumoral necrosis in 81.7% of cases [9]. - The PRECICE study is evaluating ProSense® for low-risk early breast cancer, aiming to enroll 233 patients, with initial results showing promise for outpatient treatment [9]. - A comprehensive review suggested that cryotherapy, including ProSense®, could facilitate surgical de-escalation for elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer [9].
