“…Studies have shown that negative tumor margins can reduce the rate of tumor recurrence to some extent, be effective for local tumor control, and achieve better tumor-free margins compared to tumor resection. 54 , 55 Moreover, MRI-RFA may be an effective procedure to avoid reoperation after tumor resection. However, excessive resection of breast tissue make its contour and aesthetic challenging to maintain.…”

With a gradual increase in breast cancer incidence and mortality rates and an urgent need to improve patient prognosis and cosmetology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy has attracted wide attention as a new treatment method for breast cancer. MRI-RFA results in a higher complete ablation rate and extremely low recurrence and complication rates. Thus, it may be used as an independent treatment for breast cancer or adjuvant to breast-conserving surgery to reduce the extent of breast resection. Furthermore, with MRI guidance, accurate control of RFA can be achieved, and breast cancer treatment can enter a new stage of minimally invasive, safe, and comprehensive therapy. With progress in MR thermometry technology, the applications of MRI are expected to broaden.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a treatment modality for solid tumors. However, the feasibility of RFA in treating the tumor bed in breast surgery remains investigational. Herein, we have reported the preliminary results evaluating the effect of RFA in breast-conserving surgery (BCS), followed by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), and the antibacterial effect of nanomaterials. From April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017, 22 patients received NAC followed by BCS. After the lumpectomy was complete, suspicious tumor margins were ablated with radiofrequency electrodes. The clinicopathological features and follow-up results of these patients were collected. Furthermore, the Ag nanogel was prepared for the evaluation of antibacterial activity. RFA was successful in all 22 patients during BCS. Two patients (4.5%) got skin burns and six patients (27.3%) had solid nodules formed in situ. The median follow-up time was 22.5 months (range, 11–34 months). No patients presented local recurrences or metastasis. Moreover, 18 patients (81.8%) were satisfied with the cosmetic outcomes. The Ag nanogel has stable morphology and good bacteriostatic effect in Escherichia coli and Bovis aureus. The RFA techniques applied in BCS after NAC have high success rates with relatively low complication rates. RFA may improve cosmetic results after BCS and enhance local tumor control. Further applications of RFA in patients treated with BCS after NAC must be assessed in long-term studies. Nanomaterials have good antibacterial effect and can be used on the surface of medical instruments.
