Breast Lump Treatment

Sanarus' Visica 2™ Treatment System uses cryoablation to provide a fast, effective, and minimally invasive way to destroy breast fibroadenomas.  Having no reported regrowth in thousands of cases, cryoablation is safe and comfortable for patients.

Treatment process

After diagnosis of your fibroadenoma, cryoablation treatment is generally performed using a cryogenic probe guided by ultrasound imaging into the center of the lesion. Depending on the size of the lesion, the cryoablation procedure takes 10-30 minutes. It is administered in an outpatient setting with local anesthesia and results in complete destruction of the fibroadenoma, with minimal pain, recovery time, and scarring. Unlike the alternative treatment options, the Visca 2 Treatment System provides excellent cosmetic results and patient satisfaction.

Recovery and follow-up

Initial patient recovery from the Visica 2 treatment procedure takes 4-6 hours. Depending on the size of the lesion, the patient will usually feel a lump for a number of months as the body reabsorbs the abnormal tissues. With a fibroadenoma smaller than 2 cm, complete resolution can be expected in 66% of patients at 6 months; 75% of patients at 12 months.¹ All patients who undergo the cryoablation procedure should have clinical follow-up by the treating physician.
