IceCure's ProSense® Cryoablation Featured in 4 Independent Breast Cancer Studies Presented at Radiological Society of America 2025 Annual Meeting
Abstracts presented include 3 studies involving 263 patients, adding to a growing body of evidence across diverse patient populations supporting broader adoption of ProSense®
CAESAREA, Israel, Dec. 10, 2025 /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 announced that four abstracts featuring data from independent studies conducted by ProSense® users were accepted and presented at the Radiological Society of North America's ("RSNA") Annual Meeting, which took place from November 30 to December 4, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.
The RSNA's Annual Meeting, the world's largest radiology conference with around 50,000 attendees from 160 countries, is a prestigious global platform for presenting clinical data. The acceptance of four abstracts this year, each showcasing results achieved with IceCure's technology, represents another significant international recognition of the effectiveness and growing adoption of ProSense® by the medical community for the treatment of breast cancer.
"The broad range of independent studies conducted, peer reviewed, published and presented by ProSense® users supports the widescale adoption of our cryoablation system and is highly encouraging for women who seek a non-surgical option," said Eyal Shamir, IceCure's Chief Executive Officer. "At RSNA 2025, radiologists from across the U.S. and the globe gathered to learn about the latest technologies that can lead to better patient outcomes, and we are proud that ProSense® was presented to these doctors. We continue to see growing interest in ProSense® following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") recent marketing approval in low-risk breast cancer."
Independent studies presenting data on ProSense® included the following:
1. Abstract Title: Ultrasound-guided Cryoablation for Breast Cancer in Non-Surgical Patients
Key Finding: PCA was successful in 100% of luminal cancers up to 2.5 cm
Researchers (Spain): Laura Abelairas Lopez, MD, Lucia Grana Lopez, MD, Laura Lopez, MD, Ignacio Fernandez Sobrado
Purpose: To present a single-center experience on the use of percutaneous cryoablation ("PCA") for the local control of breast cancer ("BC") in patients who elect not to undergo a surgery or were considered inoperable
Results: 73 women who were considered inoperable were treated under local anesthesia with PCA. 69 of them (median age 87 years, range 48-98 years) had at least one imaging examination performed 6 months after the procedure. Median tumor size was 23 mm, range 6-46 mm. The mean follow-up was 19.8 months (range 6-45 months). 60 patients were luminal BC, 3 were Her2 (+) and 8 were triple negative tumors. All luminal cancers received endocrine therapy. Complete tumoral necrosis was achieved in 56 tumors (81.2%). There was axillary progression in two triple negative BC. Recurrence in a different location was diagnosed in two patients. PCA was successful in 100% of luminal cancers up to 2.5 cm. No major complications were seen and the procedure was well tolerated.
Conclusions: Percutaneous cryoablation is a minimally invasive procedure, without significant complications. It could be a safe alternative to surgery for the management of early-stage breast cancer.
Key Finding: Statistically significant difference between the Cryoablation-with-HT and the HT-only groups, expressing the added value of Cryoablation
Researchers (Italy): Federica Di Naro, MD, Sofia Elisabetta Baldi Giorgi, Francesca Pugliese, MD, Sofia Vidali, Tommaso Amadori, MD, Diego De Benedetto, Jacopo Nori Cucchiari
Purpose: To evaluate the most effective non-surgical treatment for breast cancer in surgery-ineligible patients, comparing ultrasound-guided Cryoablation combined with hormonal therapy (HT) versus Cryoablation alone and hormonal therapy alone
Results: 111 patients (mean age 81.2 years, ±11.3) not-suitable for surgery due to comorbidities and/or advanced age were enrolled, with a total of 125 biopsy-confirmed malignant breast lesions. Tumor size reduction was significantly different between the groups (P=0.0005), with greatest reduction in the Cryoablation-with-HT group (83.3%, mean reduction of 13.6 mm), followed by Cryoablation-only (61.7%, mean reduction of 8.2 mm), and HT-only (42.1%, mean reduction of 7.4 mm). Tumors with complete remission (CR, RECIST 1.1) were similar between the Cryoablation-with-HT and Cryoablation-only groups (74.4% and 78.3%, respectively), followed by the HT-only (36.1%). Pairwise comparisons revealed a significant difference between the Cryoablation-with-HT and the HT-only groups for Contrast-Enhanced Mammography ("CEM")-enhancement, size reduction (%), and CR, expressing the added value of Cryoablation (P=0.0041, P<0.0001 and P<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusions: Cryoablation with hormonal-therapy significantly reduces tumor size and residual disease more effectively than therapy alone, making it a promising option for patients not-eligible for surgery.
3. Abstract Title: Correlation of Lesion Conspicuity in Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) with Tru-Cut Scar Biopsy Results in the Assessment of Ultrasound-Guided Cryoablation Outcome
Key Finding: Significant association between biopsy and lesion conspicuity on CEM
Researchers (Spain): Federica Di Naro, MD, Francesca Pugliese, MD, Sofia Elisabetta Baldi Giorgi, Giuliano Migliaro, MD, Giulia Bicchierai, Chiara Bellini, MD, Jacopo Nori Cucchiari
Purpose: To evaluate the role of lesion conspicuity at 12-month CEM follow-up as a predictor of cryoablation outcome
Results: 79 patients (mean age 85.7 years old, ±6.0) with biopsy-proven malignant breast lesions ≤35 mm, underwent ultrasound-guided cryoablation. Among the 79 patients, 48 (60.8%) underwent both CEM and Biopsy at 12 months. Among them, 35 (61.4%) lesions showed no enhancement. Among the 22 (38.6%) lesions showing enhancement, 6 had low LC, 11 moderate LC, and 5 high LC. A significant fair agreement (Cohen's Kappa coefficient = 0.32 [95% CI: 0.11-0.52]) between CEM and biopsy was shown. Fisher's exact test P-value was 0.0003 reflecting a significant association between biopsy and conspicuity. Lesions with absent or low LC correlated with negative histology (B2), while lesions with residual malignant histology (B5) were associated with moderate-high LC. In assessing cryoablation efficacy, CEM demonstrated negative predictive value (NPV) of 100%, Sensitivity of 100%, Specificity of 68.6% and positive predictive value (PPV) of 27.3%.
Conclusions: Lower lesion conspicuity on CEM indicates higher cryoablation success, useful for follow-up.
4. Abstract Title: Imaging Findings After Cryoablation of Breast Cancer: Tips and Tricks to Know That the Procedure was Successful Without Biopsy
Researchers (Spain): Laura Abelairas Lopez, MD, Lucia Grana Lopez, MD, Laura Lopez, MD, Ignacio Fernandez Sobrado
Teaching Points: Described the findings on mammography, ultrasound, and CEM after PCA of breast BC, as well as the signs of residual tumor or recurrence.
