Abstract
This case presents CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation as a treatment option in a patient with oligometastatic breast cancer who previously had received standard-of-care treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Before cryoablation, the patient received two systemic lines of therapy, several surgeries and radiotherapy for oligometastatic disease. The cryoablation was performed in a single 7 mm subpleural oligometastatic lesion 42 months after diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. It was performed without complications, and the patient experienced no complaints or discomfort after the procedure. A 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month follow-up fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT scans showed no sign of disease progression.
