IceCure's ProSense® Shines in Global Breast Imaging Studies

Recent Developments in Breast Cancer Treatment with ProSense®
At the forefront of innovative breast cancer treatment, IceCure Medical Ltd. has made significant strides with its ProSense® technology for cryoablation. This minimally invasive method, which destroys tumors by freezing them, offers an effective alternative to traditional surgical methods. Recently, ProSense® was featured prominently in six studies presented at the 2024 European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) conference, showcasing a wide array of benefits for patients.
Award-Winning Presentation at EUSOBI 2024
One of the key highlights was the presentation by Dr. Kenneth Tomkovich, the Co-Principal Investigator of the ICE3 trial. His research, titled "Image Guided Cryoablation as a Primary Treatment for Low-Risk Breast Cancers", not only garnered recognition but also won the EUSOBI 2024 Abstract Award. This accolade reflects the significance of the findings, including a remarkable 96.3% recurrence-free rate for participants treated with ProSense® in conjunction with endocrine therapy. Dr. Tomkovich noted the importance of this recognition from a prestigious European medical society as it validates the results achieved in the U.S.
Key Findings from the THERMAC Trial
Another study that received special attention during the conference was the THERMAC Trial, which examined percutaneous thermal ablation techniques—including cryoablation, radiofrequency, and microwave methods. This trial revealed that cryoablation achieved a superior complete ablation rate of 94%, with no reported adverse events, affirming its position as a safe and effective approach for treating breast cancer.
Engaging Demonstrations and Expert Testimonials
IceCure also hosted a booth during the conference, where attendees could see live demonstrations of the ProSense® Cryoablation System. Experts like Dr. Lucía Graña-López and Dr. Federica Di Naro engaged with participants, discussing the advantages and growing evidence supporting cryoablation for breast cancer. Their previous research has reported successful outcomes with ProSense® technology, reinforcing its effectiveness and safety.
Promising Future for Cryoablation Therapy
With over 1700 professionals at the EUSOBI meeting, the interest in ProSense® was palpable. Eyal Shamir, the CEO of IceCure, expressed optimism about the potential for expanding the use of their technology in Europe and globally. He mentioned that the findings presented during the conference provide a solid foundation for further commercial conversations with hospitals and clinics interested in adopting ProSense® systems as a minimally invasive treatment option.
Overview of Studies Presented
The following are summaries of the prominent studies on ProSense® that were highlighted during the conference:
- ICE3 Trial Results: Demonstrates the potential of cryoablation as a primary treatment option, achieving a 5-year recurrence rate comparable to traditional surgical methods.
- THERMAC Trial: This study reinforced that cryoablation outperformed other techniques in both effectiveness and safety.
