Técnicas de ablación como tratamiento en pacientes con cáncer de mama

Abstract

Background: The most frequently diagnosed malignancy worldwide is breast cancer. There are new minimally invasive therapeutic alternatives thanks to technological innovations, such as cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation, which have given good results. General objective: Describe ablation techniques as treatment in patients with breast cancer. Methodology: A non-experimental narrative study was carried out, with a bibliographic review. Articles in English and Spanish from the last five years were used. Results: The ablation techniques were described; in what type of patients, they were used and what was the efficacy of the ablation techniques as a treatment in patients with breast cancer in a clearer way and with more updated bibliography. Conclusions: Ablation techniques have a high efficacy as a treatment in patients with early-stage breast cancer, especially in young women and women of childbearing age. These goodresults were better observed in tumors less than or equal to 2 cm, in tumors greater than 2 cm the results take time to appear.
