    This document summarizes the results of several studies on radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treating breast tumors. Across the five studies cited, ablation rates ranged from 50% to 96% and mean tumor sizes treated were between 0.9 and 1.8 cm. Mean procedure times were between 10 to 15 minutes. Patients then typically waited 1-4 weeks before undergoing excision or lumpectomy.
