Peer Reviewed Paper Published today in the Peer Reviewed Annals of Surgical Oncology Journal: ProSense® Cryoablation Without Excision for Early-Stage, Low-Risk Breast Cancer Demonstrates 96.3% Recurrence Free Rate
Cryogenics treatment will be a game changer in Breast Cancer and other oncology indications Freezing and Killing cancerous Tumors! ( No surgeries or medications with ill side effects and low efficacy)
Publication comes ahead of the FDA Advisory Panel Meeting for Marketing Authorization of ProSense® in Early-Stage Low Risk Breast Cancer scheduled for November 7, 2024
96.3% recurrence free rate for women treated with ProSense® cryoablation and endocrine therapy; 100% of patients and treating physicians were satisfied with the cosmetic outcome.
Lead study author, Dr. Richard E. Fine, is an ICE3 investigator and winner of the 2024 American Society of Breast Surgeons' Scientific Impact Award for his presentation of the ICE3 trial data.
ProSense® offers women the choice of a quick minimally invasive in-office procedure under local anesthesia with minimal pain, minimal scarring and rapid recovery as compared to lumpectomy which involves full anesthesia and hours of surgery and recovery, followed by 1-2 weeks of limited movement.
Key highlights and findings from the Peer Reviewed article include:
194 patients meeting eligibility received successful cryoablation treatment per protocol and were included in the final results for analysis.
The mean age was 74.9 years (55–94) with a mean tumor size of 7.4 mm transverse (2.8–14.0 mm) and 8.1 mm sagittal (2.5–14.9 mm).
With a mean follow-up period of 54.16 months for the total population of the ICE3 trial, the IBTR rate at 5 years was 4.3% and breast cancer survival was 96.7%.
Of the 124 patients who received cryoablation and endocrine therapy, the IBTR was 3.7%, resulting in a recurrence-free rate of 96.3%.
No serious device-related adverse events were reported.
Quality-of-life score demonstrated statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) in distress at 6 months as compared with baseline.
100% of patients and treating physicians were satisfied with the cosmetic outcome.
ICE3 is a non-randomized trial that was conducted at 19 sites in the U.S.

Liquid nitrogen- (LN2) based ProSense® found to have favorable safety compared to argon-based cryoablation systems, as well as being more cost effective and easier to manage
Independent study conducted at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) demonstrates interventional radiology use cases for ProSense® for indications that are approved in various markets across the world
CAESAREA, Israel, Sept. 16, 2024 /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 alternative to surgical tumor removal, today announced the publication of an independent study led by Dr. Franco Orsi, Director of Interventional Radiology at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) in Milan, Italy and an expert ProSense® user. The study titled "Liquid Nitrogen-Based Cryoablation: Complication Rates for Lung, Bone, and Soft Tissue Tumors" was published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the British Institute of Radiology.
"Cryoablation with liquid nitrogen has a growing role in early oncology treatments across a wide variety of cancer types and particularly for patients who may have multiple comorbidities and/or who want to avoid surgery. As interventional radiologists are increasingly and effectively using cryoablation, it's important to note Dr. Orsi and his colleagues underscore in the paper that interventional radiology is now the fourth pillar of the oncology field, alongside clinical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation therapy," stated IceCure's Chief Executive Officer, Eyal Shamir. "We are very pleased that ProSense® is providing a minimally invasive option to treat cancer patients early, safely and effectively."
The study assessed the complication rate both during and 24 hours after treatment with IceCure's cryoablation system in 85 patients who were treated for 96 lesions (tumors), 36.4% of which were lesions in bones, 18.8% in lungs, and 44.8% in soft tissue. The primary technical success rate, defined as complete tumor coverage, was 97.7% (83 of 85 patients). Patients with benign and malignant tumors were treated for either curative or palliative intent. Minor complications resolved themselves without intervention or merely required simple interventions such as drainage. The study concluded that cryoablation using an LN2-based system, such as ProSense®, is safe across various tumor sizes and locations, with only minor complications observed.
LN2-based cryoablation was compared to argon-based systems in the study who point to the benefits of LN2 procedures including its suitability for office-based procedures performed under local anesthesia, compared to argon systems which typically require general anesthesia and are therefore less suitable for office procedures. The study also addresses the challenges of argon systems requiring large argon gas cylinders, which necessitate dedicated storage space and trained personnel for transport, as well as the higher cost of the procedure due to the use of multiple cryoprobes as well as the use of noble gases, argon and helium. The study demonstrates that LN2-based systems, such as ProSense®, are more cost effective and easier to manage.
Two previously published independent lung cancer studies of ProSense® in the treatment of lung cancer, which evaluated the procedure's local control and recurrence free rate, reported 96% and 100% three-year recurrence free rates. Independent and IceCure-sponsored studies of other interventional radiology indications are ongoing.

"Following the Advisory Panel, we anticipate that the FDA will make a decision regarding marketing clearance of ProSense® by early 2025."
The Advisory Panel will include breast surgeons, interventional radiologists and industry representatives from the regulatory community. The vast body of data available on ProSense® as a treatment for early-stage low risk breast cancer will be reviewed by the Advisory Panel, including results from the Company's ICE3 study, the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial ever performed for liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation of early-stage malignant breast tumors. Per the analysis, at the 5-year follow-up evaluation, 96.3% of the subgroup of patients treated with ProSense® cryoablation, followed by adjuvant endocrine therapy, were estimated to be free from local recurrence. 100% patient and physician satisfaction was reported. The Advisory Panel is expected to make its recommendations at the conclusion of the meeting, at which time the FDA will commence its review process.
The FDA generally makes Advisory Panel meeting materials and the live webcast link available to the public no later than two business days before the meeting, at which time IceCure intends to share the link with shareholders via a press release.
