Novilase Breast Therapy is an image-guided, minimally invasive alternative for lumpectomy that uses heat from a laser to ablate (destroy) small breast tumors. The BR-002 Novilase Clinical Trial is evaluating the rate of complete tumor ablation of breast cancers that are up to 2 centimeters. It is also examining the correlation of the pathology of post-ablation lumpectomy specimens with MRI, ultrasound and mammography in detecting any residual tumor.
If the multi-center trial and subsequent trials are successful, Novilase Breast Therapy may provide women who have early-stage breast cancer with a treatment option that has several potential advantages, including:
* Fewer re-treatments or repeat surgeries
* Minimal scarring or changes in the contour of breast tissue
* Less risk of infection
* Shorter recovery time and quicker return tonormal activities
Novilase Breast Therapy does not preclude any additional treatment, if necessary. For example, radiation therapy, systemic adjuvant therapy, or any other treatment that is medically indicated can still be used.
