Sažetak
One can find an increasing number of articles with minimally invasive methods in current literature concerning local treatment of breast cancer.The methods can be divided in two groups:percutaneous excision methods and theram ablation methods.Thermal ablation methods are based on the premise that malignant tissue is more sensitive to hyperthermia than normal cells.We are comparing advantages and disadvantages of current minimally invasive methods for treatment of early stage breast cancers, showing differences and advantages of current minimally invasive methods for treatment of early stage breast cancers, showing differences and advantages over breast- conserving surgery.available published studies and protocols are overviewed.most of published works emphasize advantages over classic breast surgery such as:lower cost, less trauma for patients and smaller invasiveness. All methods invovlving thermal procedures require surgical excision afterwards for evaluation of necrosis and pathological evaluation of the lesion.The effect of these methods should be safety, painless, good cosmetic results and lower treatment costs.If results of such methods to be compared to BCS, we can expect their integration in clinical practice.
