Minimally invasive ablative therapy techniques are being used in research protocols to treat benign and malignant tumors of the breast in select patient populations. These techniques offer the advantages of an outpatient setting, decreased pain, and improved cosmesis. These therapies, including radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, interstitial laser therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasonography, and focused microwave thermotherapy, are reviewed in this article.
