New Treatment Options in
Breast Care 

“There’s no reason a woman should be disfigured by a breast tumor when there’s a better, minimally invasive solution available.”

Breast disease is one of the most critical health issues facing women today. Millions of women are affected each year by cancerous breast tumors. Millions more are affected by non-cancerous fibroadenomas and other breast conditions.

Minimally invasive treatment solutions for breast tumors

Sanarus is committed to the development of minimally invasive products for the comprehensive treatment of breast disease. Our proprietary cryoablation technology offers a non-surgical alternative for the treatment of non-cancerous fibroadenoma breast tumors. The Company’s cryoablation Visica 2™ treatment system is currently being studied for the treatment of cancerous breast tumors in a National Cancer Institute funded phase II clinical trial. 

Cryoablation eliminates breast tumors by freezing them. Proven safe and effective with FDA 510(k) clearance, cryoablation of fibroadenomas is an in-office procedure performed without surgery and with only minimal discomfort. Both physicians and patients report high levels of satisfaction with cryoablation.  Best yet, the treatment produces excellent cosmetic results.^1-5
