Abstract

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a relatively new technique for breast cancer treatment. In spite of the increasing literature about RFA, there is limited experience in breast cancer treatment. According to the results of a few clinical studies, even if RFA is preferable as a minimally invasive procedure in cases with localised small sized tumors (T1), there are a few obstacles to overcome. The studies have stated that the histopathological knowledge and information was lost by postablation damage and there is an absence of standardization of care in follow-up. In order to consider RFA as a treatment option in breast cancer, there is a need for long-term follow-up research studies including a higher number of patient enrollment.

Özet

Meme kanseri tedavisi için radyofrekans ablasyon görece yeni bir tekniktir. Radyofrekans ablasyon uygulamaları konusunda literatürde her gün artan yayınlara karşın meme kanserinde uygulamalardaki deneyim sınırlı bulunmaktadır. Sınırlı sayıdaki klinik çalışmanın sonuçlarına bakıldığında bu yöntem, tümör boyutu küçük olan (T1) lokalize olgularda tercih edilebilir minimal invaziv bir yöntem gibi görünmektedir. Doku harabiyeti nedeniyle ablasyon sonrası histopatolojik değerlendirmenin yapılamaması ve hastaların takibinde belirli bir standardizasyonun olmayışı bu işlemin çözüm bekleyen önemli sorunlarıdır. Radyofrekans ablasyonun ameliyat edilebilir meme kanserinde bir tedavi seçeneği olabilmesi için, literatürdeki hasta sayısı düşük olan az sayıdaki heterojen çalışmalara eklenmiş, uzun takip süreli ve geniş serili klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
