Heat therapy for early-stage invasive breast cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat early-stage breast cancer using heat therapy (thermal therapy) to target and destroy the tumor, possibly avoiding or reducing surgery. It may be an option for people with a small, single tumor that hasn't spread.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 80.
- You have been recently diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (cancer that has spread into nearby breast tissue) and have not yet had any treatment like chemotherapy.
- Imaging shows a single tumor that is 2 cm or smaller, with no signs of spread to other parts of the body.
- The tumor is not attached to the skin, nipple, or chest wall, and there are no calcium deposits (calcifications).
- Your blood counts and clotting function are within a healthy range, and you do not have serious health problems that would make the treatment unsafe.

This trial tests a type of heat therapy (called multimode thermal therapy) to treat early-stage lung cancer that hasn't spread. It may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to.
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 a combination of thermal therapy and immunotherapy for women with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the liver. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the disease after previous treatments have stopped working.
This trial is testing a lower dose of treatment for women with small, early-stage breast cancer that is hormone-positive and has not spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to find out if it can be as effective as the standard treatment with fewer side effects.
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.
