Heat therapy for early-stage breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment that uses heat to destroy early-stage breast cancer tumors without needing chemotherapy or radiation first. It may be an option for women with small tumors that have not spread.

This trial tests a heat-based treatment for early-stage lung cancer in people who cannot or choose not to have surgery. The treatment uses heat to destroy cancer cells and is done through the chest wall.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses heat to target liver tumors and boost the immune system. It is for women with breast cancer that has spread to the liver who cannot have or do not want surgery.
This trial tests a heat-based treatment for liver cancer tumors that uses multiple methods to destroy cancer cells. It may help people with liver tumors that haven't spread and who are healthy enough for treatment.
This study tests combining a special heat treatment (thermal therapy) with immunotherapy to see if it works better for HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help people who have already tried other treatments and whose cancer has gotten worse.
This trial studies how a special heating radiation treatment (“hyperthermia radiotherapy”) affects quality of life in people whose breast cancer has come back in the chest area. It may help show whether this treatment approach is tolerable and beneficial for everyday well-being.
This study tests a combination of freezing and heating (cryoablation and thermal ablation) to treat breast cancer in patients who cannot have surgery. It may help shrink or control tumors while avoiding general anesthesia.
