Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IceCure Medical furnished a Form 6-K featuring an independent, investigator-initiated study of its ProSense® cryoablation system for benign breast tumors called fibroadenomas. The PLOS One study reported a median fibroadenoma volume reduction of 80.6% about six months after treatment and 92.9% after one year.

The investigators concluded that liquid nitrogen-based ProSense® cryoablation was safe and effective, including for larger lesions treated with multiple cryoprobe relocations. IceCure estimates cryoablation could address about 63,000 fibroadenoma excision cases annually in the U.S. and believes these findings may support broader guideline updates and clinical adoption.

IceCure Medical Reports Independent Study Published in PLOS One Demonstrating ProSense® Cryoablation Safe and Effective in Treatment of Breast Fibroadenomas

 

Treatment with ProSense® resulted in 92.9% volume reduction of fibroadenoma one-year post-cryoablation

 

Findings may impact treatment guidelines issued by medical societies for large non-cancerous breast tumors; study is believed to be the first to evaluate larger lesions and use multiple cryoprobe relocations

 

ProSense® Cryoablation has FDA-clearance for fibroadenomas

 

CAESAREA, Israel, March 2, 2026 – IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) (“IceCure”, “IceCure Medical” or the “Company”), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an option to surgical tumor removal, today announced the publication of an independent, investigator-initiated study evaluating ProSense® for the treatment of non-cancerous breast tumors, or fibroadenomas. The study, titled “Cryoablation for fibroadenoma with liquid nitrogen-based system: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data,” was published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One.

 

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast lesion identified through core needle biopsy. Up to 10% of women will have a fibroadenoma at some point in their lives, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Surgical excision is currently the standard of care for many fibroadenomas, particularly for larger lesions or those causing discomfort. IceCure estimates that cryoablation could address approximately 63,000 cases of fibroadenoma excision in the U.S. annually.

 

“We believe this publication is very significant because it reinforces the safety and effectiveness of ProSense® cryoablation for fibroadenomas and may contribute to updates in treatment guidelines for non-cancerous breast tumors issued by medical societies in key markets where ProSense® is used, including the American Society of Breast Surgeons,” said Eyal Shamir, IceCure’s Chief Executive Officer. “Previous studies supporting cryoablation for fibroadenomas were often limited to lesions 4 centimeters or smaller, and many were published more than a decade ago. This study is unique in that it includes a large patient cohort and evaluates larger lesions using multiple cryoprobe relocations. We are grateful to the study’s investigators for their pursuit of improved outcomes for patients and their use of ProSense® for their study.”

 

The study was conducted at the Premier Med Healthcare, Training, and Research Institute in Hungary and led by Dr. Teodora Filipov and Dr. Pál Ákos Deák. The investigators concluded that cryoablation with a liquid nitrogen system, specifically ProSense®, proved safe and effective, demonstrating a median volume reduction of 80.6% at approximately six months and 92.9% at one-year post-treatment. The study further found that sequential cryoprobe relocations preserve safety and efficacy. ProSense® cryoprobes can be relocated up to three times per patient, per procedure enabling physicians to fully treat large or multifocal lesions through complete ablation coverage.

 

IceCure believes these findings further support the growing clinical adoption of minimally invasive cryoablation as an alternative to surgical excision for benign breast tumors, particularly for women seeking minimal scarring and short procedure times.

 

 

 

About ProSense®

 

The ProSense® Cryoablation System is the first and only medical device to receive FDA marketing authorization for the local treatment of low-risk breast cancer with adjuvant endocrine therapy for women aged 70 and above, including patients who are not suitable for surgical alternatives for breast cancer treatment. A full list of benefits and risks can be found on the Company’s website.

 

ProSense® is a minimally invasive cryosurgical tool that provides the option to destroy tumors by freezing them. The system uniquely harnesses the power of liquid nitrogen to create large lethal zones for maximum efficacy in tumor destruction in benign and cancerous lesions, including in the breast, kidney, lung, and liver.
