Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Competent to sign informed consent 2. Diagnosis of invasive ductal breast carcinoma by core needle biopsy, meeting the following criteria: 1. Unifocal primary disease NOTE: Patients with multifocal and/or multicentric in breast cancer, or evidence of EIC are NOT eligible. Patients with contralateral disease will remain eligible. 2. Tumor size ≤1.5 cm in greatest diameter in the axis parallel to the treatment probe AND ≤1.5 cm in the axis anti-parallel to the treatment probe AND ≤1.5 cm in Anterior/ Posterior dimension. Tumor size ≤1.5 cm in greatest diameter as measured by breast ultrasound, mammogram and/or MRI. The largest dimension measured will be used to determine eligibility. 3. Nottingham grade 1-2. Specifically, nuclear and mitotic scores must be less than or equal to 2. 4. Estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, HER2 negative 3. Age\>= 50 4. Breast size adequate for safe cryoablation 5. Lesion must be sonographically visible at the time of treatment. 6. History of previously treated ipsilateral or contralateral breast carcinoma is not an
Exclusion criteria
if the investigator is certain newly diagnosed carcinoma is new unifocal primary tumor.
Design outcomes

| Improvement or Maintenance of Subject's Quality of Life | Baseline and 6 months | Quality of life will be assessed using the NCCN Distress Thermometer, a 0-10 scale measuring patient distress (0 = no distress, 10 = extreme distress; higher scores indicate worse distress), collected at baseline and at 6 months follow-up visit. |
| Breast Cosmetics Satisfaction | Up to 5 years following procedure | Participants and treating physicians rated satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes following breast cryoablation. |
| Regional Recurrence Rate | up to 5 years following procedure | Regional Invasive breast tumor recurrence rate. |
| Distant Metastases Survival Rate | up to 5 years following procedure | Distant metastases survival rate, including contralateral Breast cancer |
| Disease-free Survival (DFS) | up to 5 years | DFS from the date of complete ablation of the primary tumor until the first disease event, where the disease event is defined as local (DCIS or invasive), regional, or distant breast cancer recurrence, or DCIS or invasive contralateral breast cancer. |
| Overall Survival | up to 5 years | Overall survival from the date of the cryoablation until the date of death from any cause or up to the 60 months follow up visit |
| Breast Cancer Survival. | up to 5 years | Breast Cancer Survival from the date of cryoablation until the date of death from breast cancer or up to the 60 months follow-up visit. |

Participant flow
Recruitment details
The study was conducted at 19 sites in the USA. All study investigators had related experience in low-risk breast cancer treatment, imaging, and pathology assessments and were trained to perform the cryoablation procedure. The recruitment period lasted from October 2014 to February 2019.
Pre-assignment details
A total of 212 Subjects were screened for enrollment in the study; 3 were screen failures, and 3 subjects withdrew consent before the procedure; 206 were enrolled and treated. Based on the DSMB recommendation, 12 subjects were excluded from the study after completing the cryoablation procedure. Nine (9) were due to deviation from inclusion criteria, and three (3) were due to incomplete treatment, resulting in the per-protocol study population of 194 subjects.
