CAESAREA, Israel, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM) ("IceCure," "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an option to surgical tumor removal, today highlighted the growing international interest in its ProSense™ system in Brazil at the Simpósio de Radiologia Intervencionista em Oncologia ("SOBRICE Onco 2026"), one of the country's leading interventional oncology congresses.

"IceCure's ProSense™ holds Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária ("ANVISA") regulatory approval in Brazil and is experiencing growing commercial expansion in the country. We believe the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") marketing authorization for early-stage, low-risk breast cancer has provided significant tailwind, boosting awareness and interest among Brazilian physicians and institutions", commented IceCure CEO, Eyal Shamir "Commercial procedures are already being performed, including for breast, lung, kidney cancer and musculoskeletal tumors", Shamir continued.

Leading experts in cryoablation such as Dr. José Hugo Luz, a member of the SOBRICE Board of Directors and Chief of Interventional Radiology at the Instituto Nacional De Câncer, Dr. Vanessa Sanvido, a breast surgeon at HCor Hospital in São Paulo, and others are among those advocating for the adoption of ProSense® in key medical centers throughout the country. At SOBRICE Onco 2026, renowned experts in breast cryoablation, including breast surgeon Dr. Vanessa Sanvido of the HCor Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil and interventional radiologist Dr. Toulsie Ramtohul of the Institut Curie in Paris, France were invited to attend the breast cancer session to present their clinical experience and results with ProSense™ to the Brazilian oncology community. Both physicians are conducting large independent breast cancer cryoablation studies with ProSense™ in their respective countries, with 750 patients from Brazil expected to enroll in the ongoing SIX trial and 900 patients in France's planned CRYODESC trial are anticipated to enroll in a two-arm independent study evaluating cryoablation and the current standard of care.  

Dr. Ramtohul, who also led master classes on breast cancer cryoablation in the Albert Einstein hospital in São Paulo, participated in the congress and expressed appreciation for the collaboration with IceCure and KTR Medical, a local importer of medical devices and IceCure's exclusive distributor in Brazil.

ProSense™ continues to gain traction globally as a safe, effective, and patient-friendly minimally invasive alternative to surgery, offering shorter recovery times and improved quality of life. IceCure remains committed to expanding access to this technology through clinical education, regulatory milestones, and strategic partnerships.
