It’s a new national clinical study going on right now & it’s called “cryoablation.” Dr. Simmons from the Iris Cantor Women’s Health Center in NYC was interviewed. It’s a 20 minute procedure that freezes & kills the breast cancer cells. It can be done in the doctor’s office & can possibly eliminate the need for chemotherapy in the future. It’s possible that the side effect of this technique can boost the patient’s own body to fight off its own cancer in the future!
