Percutaneous Management of Breast Cancer: a Systematic Review.

It is safe and feasible for percutaneous management to treat breast cancer. For tumor size ≤ 2 cm, percutaneous management is a promising alternative modality. For tumor size ≤ 3 cm, it is controversial whether percutaneous management can achieve similar effects to surgery, especially its long-term effects. For tumor size > 3 cm, it is still in the initial exploration stage and showed the potential in the treatment of unresectable cancer by benefitting the local control of primary cancer. Percutaneous management of breast cancer is a valuable method for breast cancer treatment in selected patients. However, it will be necessary to provide the high level of evidence for widespread clinical application.
