Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of patients in whom complete ablation was achieved by RFA, MWA or CA, based on the histopathology of the resection specimen determined with CK8/18 and H&E staining.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
• Feasibility of each technique in an outpatient setting, in terms of serious adverse events (SAE), complications, treatment tolerability and system usability. • Predictive value of MRI for complete ablation of the tumor • Patient satisfaction, measured with numeric pain scales, visual analog scale and open questions. • Cosmetic outcome measured with BCTOS-13, Breast-Q and BCCT.core • Degree of immune response of the three techniques: local response measured in tissue, and peripheral response measured in blood samples.
