Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Amount of tissue destruction with MedWaves Microwave Ablation/ Coagulation System.
Measure tissue destruction with the MedWaves Microwave Ablation/ Coagulation System through pathological review of destruction.
30 days
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Provide the differences between percutaneous and open Microwave Ablation
30 Days
Amount of toxicity of microwave ablation in patients.
30 Days
Study Arms (1)
Microwave Ablation/ Coagulation Arm
These patients will receive microwave ablation using MedWaves Microwave Ablation/ Coagulation System.
Interventions
An 11-gauge microwave probe from MedWaves, Inc., will be placed in the tumor. An ablation lesion will then be generated at the appropriate power (10-35 watts) to maintain up to 130C degrees at the MW applicator tip thermocouple for 10 minutes duration. Palpation and/or ultrasound may be used to place the MWA needle and monitor the progress of the microwave ablation.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients with a diagnosis of primary breast tumor for which a surgical resection (excisional, biopsy, segmentectomy or mastectomy) is planned.
You may qualify if:
- a diagnosis of primary breast tumor for which a surgical resection (excisional, biopsy, segmentectomy or mastectomy) is planned.
- Tumor is palpable or visible on ultrasound or both
- All participants need to be fully able to give informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Gender: male
- Mental or legal incompetence
- Impaired decision-making capacity
- Pregnant women may not participate
- Implanted Pacemaker
