Breast Cancer

Patients with primary breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant letrozole will undergo radiological assessment with digital mammogram, ultrasound (US) including shearwave elastography (SWE). These will be performed at 3 monthly intervals until surgical intervention is considered feasible.

Shearwave elastography

Patients will be receiving neoadjuvant letrozole as standard therapy for breast cancer

Letrozole

Core biopsies will be taken at diagnosis, and at the time of surgery to allow biological assessment of changes in tumour

Breast core biopsy

Breast MRI scans will be performed at time of diagnosis and prior to surgery to allow comparison of MRI change and response to treatment

A percutaneous (utlrasound-guided) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the tumor will be performed by the radiologist under general anesthesia. Immediately after, excision of the tumor with appropriate margin will be accomplished.

Normal excision of the tumor according to the protocol

After tumor ablation and excision of the tumor, the pathologist performed a macroscopic study of the specimen,measuring the distance between the tumor and the margin in order to indicate if extensions are mandatory. Secondly and delayed, margins will be evaluated microscopically by H&E stain. Furthermore, the tumoral viability in the ablation zone will be evaluated by NADH-diaphorase, COX and tunnel.

The pathologist performed a macroscopic study of the specimen, measuring the distance between the tumor and the margin in order to indicate if extensions are mandatory.

Adverse effects and cosmetic result will be evaluated 15 days after the procedure

Tumoral viability in the ablation zone will be evaluated by NADH-diaphorase, COX and tunel
