Cryoablation in male patients with breast cancer: two first-time case reports

Abstract Background The rarity of male breast cancer often relies on data extrapolated from its female counterpart for treatment guidance. Among the promising local treatment modalities for breast cancer, cryoablation stands out. Case presentation These meticulous cases confirm the importance of cryoablation and its transformative role in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, including cases of male breast carcinoma. The main objective of this study was to describe the first two clinical cases involving the interventional protocol, the imaging attributes of the postcryoablation breast, and the feasibility of cryoablation as a specific surgical alternative for male breast cancer patients. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of cryoablation in the literature in this setting. Conclusions Cryoablation presents an attractive option to treat male patients with breast cancer, providing better therapeutic options.
