Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IceCure Medical highlights new 2026 guidance from the American Society of Breast Surgeons that recommends cryoablation as an option for selected patients with biologically low-risk early-stage breast cancer. The company’s ICE3 study and a favorable FDA Advisory Panel vote helped support this update.

The guidance follows U.S. FDA marketing clearance in October 2025 for IceCure’s ProSense® cryoablation system to treat low-risk breast cancer in women aged 70 and older with tumors up to 1.5 cm who receive adjuvant endocrine therapy. ProSense® is described as the first and only FDA-cleared medical device for the treatment of breast cancer and is positioned for office-based, minimally invasive tumor destruction.

Insights

ASBrS guidance formally supports IceCure’s FDA-cleared cryoablation for a defined low-risk breast cancer group.

The updated American Society of Breast Surgeons Resource Guide recommends cryoablation for selected biologically low-risk early-stage breast cancer, directly referencing IceCure’s ICE3 study and a favorable FDA Advisory Panel vote. This reinforces ProSense® as a guideline-backed option following its October 2025 FDA marketing clearance.

ProSense® is described as the first and only FDA-cleared medical device for breast cancer treatment and targets a U.S. breast cryoablation population of about 200,000 women annually, including 47,245 early-stage low-risk patients aged 70 and over. Management links the new guidance and existing reimbursement coding to expectations for greater awareness, system placements, and procedure volumes, though actual commercial results will depend on physician adoption and broader reimbursement coverage.

American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) Resource Guide Update Recommends Cryoablation for Low-Risk Breast Cancer

 

IceCure’s ICE3 study and the FDA Advisory Panel’s favorable vote on ProSense® cryoablation’s benefit-risk profile for low-risk breast cancer played a key role in the ASBrS 2026 Resource Guide update

 

New medical society guidance expected to further accelerate commercial adoption of ProSense® following FDA-clearance for low-risk breast cancer in October 2025

 

CAESAREA, Israel, March 9, 2026 – IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) (“IceCure”, “IceCure Medical” or the “Company”), a developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an option to surgical tumor removal, today announced that the American Society of Breast Surgeons’ (“ASBrS) updated 2026 “Resource Guide on the Use of Transcutaneous and Percutaneous Ablation for the Treatment of Benign and Malignant Tumors of the Breast” recommends cryoablation as an option for selected patients with biologically low-risk early-stage breast cancer. The updated guidance represents an important step toward broader clinical adoption of IceCure’s ProSense® cryoablation system, which received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) marketing clearance in October 2025 for the treatment of low-risk breast cancer in patients aged ≥70 years, with tumors measuring ≤1.5 cm, who are treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy. ProSense® is the first and only FDA cleared medical device for the treatment of breast cancer.

 

“We believe this recognition by the ASBrS, a leading professional society, further validates cryoablation’s role in modern breast cancer care and positions ProSense® as an option that prioritizes outcomes, cosmetic results, and patient choice,” said Eyal Shamir, IceCure’s Chief Executive Officer. “The ASBrS Resource Guide on percutaneous ablation compliments their recent guidance for breast-conserving treatment, emphasizing preservation, de-escalation, and individualized care. Cryoablation aligns naturally with these principles by providing minimally invasive, breast-preserving local tumor control without surgical excision.”

 

IceCure’s Vice President of Sales for North America, Shad Good, added, “We believe ASBrS’s new guidance will further raise awareness of and confidence in cryoablation among patients and breast surgeons, who develop and oversee breast cancer patients’ treatment plans. We expect these developments, as well as the established CPT III reimbursement code, will help further accelerate commercial adoption and drive continued momentum in ProSense® system placements and procedure volumes.”

 

The ASBrS 2026 Resource Guide continues to recognize cryoablation as a validated, cosmetically favorable treatment for benign fibroadenomas and now identifies it as a carefully selected, FDA-approved option to surgery for biologically low-risk early-stage breast cancer in older patients. The guide indicates that cryoablation must be considered in the context of a comprehensive treatment plan with input from a multidisciplinary team. The ASBrS recommendations align clinical evidence, FDA authorization, and multidisciplinary care principles into a unified framework for the use of breast cryoablation.

 

Based on data from the American Cancer Society, ProSense® addresses a U.S. breast cryoablation patient population of approximately 200,000 women annually, including an estimated 47,245 early-stage, low-risk breast cancer patients aged 70 and over, approximately 90,300 patients who are not candidates for breast cancer surgery, and roughly 63,200 patients with fibroadenomas who opt for excision.

 

 

About ProSense®
