RFA Outcomes and Patient Data Analysis

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.
