Abstract：
The adoption of minimally invasive treatments for early-stage breast cancer is increasing. Microwave thermal ablation (MWA), a minimally invasive technique, has been studied for treating small breast cancer lesions. However, long-term evidence on its efficacy as a sole treatment is limited, as most studies combine MWA with other therapies and post-treatment surgical excision. This report details the case of an 83-year-old African patient who declined surgery and systemic therapies, opting for MWA using the TATOpro system as the sole treatment for contralateral breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis. The report includes a one-year follow-up, assessing disease recurrence with MRI and ultrasound. The findings highlight MWA\'s potential as an innovative and efficacious breast cancer treatment, emphasizing the need for adaptable strategies in oncology.
摘要：
早期乳腺癌的微创治疗正在增加。微波热消融（MWA），一种微创技术，已被研究用于治疗小的乳腺癌病变。然而,关于其作为唯一治疗的疗效的长期证据是有限的，因为大多数研究将MWA与其他疗法和治疗后手术切除相结合。这份报告详细介绍了一名83岁的非洲患者，他拒绝手术和系统治疗，使用TATOpro系统选择MWA作为对侧乳腺癌伴腋窝淋巴结转移的唯一治疗方法。该报告包括为期一年的后续行动，用MRI和超声评估疾病复发。研究结果强调了MWA作为一种创新和有效的乳腺癌治疗方法的潜力，强调肿瘤学需要适应性策略。
