  • Ages Any age
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • (a) the breast tumor obtained the pathological diagnosis by using core-needle biopsy; (b) for the benign lesion, continually increasing during a half year followup,with the symptoms of local pain, discomfortable or compression considered probably relating to the mass of breast; the patient with evidently psychological pressure due to the occurrence of the BBL despite clearly benignancy on imaging; (c) for the malignant lesion, with the tumor size smaller than 2cm and without other metastasis.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Microwave Ablation With Cryoablation for Breast Tumor

The investigators will perform this study to prospectively compare the clinical outcome after percutaneous microwave ablation(MWA) and cryoablation of benign and malignant breast lesion under ultrasound (US) guidance.

Read the detailed description

A total of more than 200 patients diagnosed with benign breast lesions and 50 patients with malignant breast lesions in two centers of China will be recruited in this study and underwent US-guided percutaneous MWA and cryoablation treatment. Information for each patient includes demographics; longest diameters of tumors; tumor numbers; tumor pathological type; location of tumor according to whether adjacent to skin, pectoralis, areola and papilla. Ablation variables including session, puncture, time, and power; complete ablation, complications; reduction in volume, palpability, pain and cosmetic satisfying outcomes,recurrence,survival will be compared and analyzed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • microwave ablationProcedure or surgery

    Also called cryoablation

    Microwave ablation and cryoablation are both thermal ablation techniques for minimally invasive treatment of breast tumor. They are performed percutaneously by ultrasound guidance.The tumor can be completely killed without injurying adjacent tissue.

Study groups in NCT03286413
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
microwave ablationExperimentalMicrowave ablation(MWA)refers to all electromagnetic methods of inducing tumor destruction by using devices with frequencies greater than or equal to 900MHz. The rotation of dipole molecules accounts for most of the heat generated during MWA. Water molecules as dipoles attempt to continuously reorient at the same rate in microwave's oscillating electric field. As a result of microwave transmission, the water molecules flip back and forth billions of times a second. The vigorous movement of water molecules produce friction and heat, thus inducing cellular death via coagulation necrosis. The microwave unit (KY-2000, Kangyou Medical, Nanjing, China) is capable of producing 100 Watts of power at 2450 MHz.The needle antenna has a diameter of 1.6 mm (16G) and a length of 10 cm. The active tip length is 3mm and 5mm.
Receives: Procedure: microwave ablation
cryoablationActive comparatorClinically, cryosurgery is accomplished by placing a cryoprobe(up to 3.5 mm) through a stab incision into the tumor under ultrasound guidance.Liquid nitrogen is utilized under low operating pressure as cryogen which is controlled by the computer modulated cryogen regulator. The cryoprobe achieves rapid freezing by means of an active freeze zone at its distal tip.
Receives: Procedure: microwave ablation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. volume reduce rate

    divide the volume of ablation zone by unablated lesion volume

    Measured: 3 year

  2. overall survival

    Measured: 5 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. local tumor progress

    any nodular occurence adjacent to the ablation zone during the follow-up

    Measured: 5 year

  2. metastasis

    any nodular occurence keeping away from the ablation zone during the follow-up

    Measured: 5 year

  3. complication

    numbers of participants with side effect and major complications

    Measured: 5 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing microwave ablation in people with Breast Tumor and Microwave Ablation, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jie Yu, Dr. (66937981, yu-jie301@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

volume reduce rate (time frame: 3 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Sep 2017.
