Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IceCure Medical reports new clinical data on its ProSense® cryoablation system for kidney, breast, and benign breast tumors, presented at the ECIO 2026 conference. In the ICESECRET kidney cancer trial, cryoablation achieved an 89.4% recurrence-free rate in patients with tumors ≤3 cm, with 83.9% of patients recurrence-free at a median follow-up of 4.0 years.

Independent studies showed no residual cancer at 6 and 12 months in early-stage breast cancer patients and 100% excellent cosmetic outcomes, as well as a 92.9% reduction in fibroadenoma volume at 12 months. ProSense® is described as the first and only device with FDA marketing authorization for local treatment of low-risk breast cancer in women aged 70 and above with adjuvant endocrine therapy.

cryoablation medical
"cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an option to surgical tumor removal"
A medical treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy unwanted tissue, such as small tumors or heart tissue causing irregular rhythms; think of it like applying a focused freezer to stop a problem spot without cutting it out. It matters to investors because devices, tools, and drugs tied to cryoablation, plus clinical results, approval status and insurance coverage, can drive sales, shape market adoption and affect the financial outlook of healthcare companies.
recurrence-free rate medical
"demonstrated 89.4% recurrence-free rate in patients with tumors ≤3 cm"
fibroadenoma medical
"Liquid Nitrogen–Based Cryoablation for Fibroadenoma: Retrospective Analysis of Prospectively Collected Data"
A fibroadenoma is a noncancerous lump in breast tissue made of gland and connective tissue, often felt like a small, movable marble under the skin. It matters to investors because its prevalence drives demand for diagnostic imaging, biopsy tools, and minimally invasive treatments, and can influence healthcare spending, regulatory reviews, clinical trial enrollment, and the market outlook for companies selling related tests or devices.
liquid nitrogen–based cryoablation medical
"ProSense® liquid nitrogen–based cryoablation for the treatment of multiple large fibroadenomas"
Liquid nitrogen–based cryoablation is a medical procedure that destroys unwanted tissue by applying extremely cold temperatures directly to the target using liquid nitrogen as the freezing agent. Investors care because devices and treatments using this method can offer less invasive, often outpatient alternatives to surgery, which affects clinical adoption, reimbursement, device sales and regulatory approval prospects—similar to a new tool that changes demand in an established market.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

FDA clearance of ProSense® in early-stage breast cancer drives expanding global adoption
and clinical interest in breast cryoablation

 

CAESAREA, Israel, May 19, 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 that cryoablation and ProSense® were featured at the annual European Conference on Interventional Oncology (“ECIO”) 2026, held in Basel, Switzerland on April 26 to 30, 2026.

 

“We believe ECIO 2026 marked a significant milestone for IceCure, ProSense® and cryoablation in interventional oncology,” said Eyal Shamir, Chief Executive Officer of IceCure. “We are experiencing growing global momentum and commercial interest in ProSense® and cryoablation, with particular interest shown at ECIO 2026 in the treatment of breast cancer, fibroadenomas, and kidney cancer. The eager participation of doctors who are regular users of ProSene® leading hands-on trainings and presentations and more independent third-party data, combined with the compelling kidney cancer results from the ICESECRET trial, reinforce the expanding clinical validation and versatility of our technology.”

 

For the first time in ECIO’s history, a dedicated breast cryoablation course was held, including hands-on training with ProSense® conducted by leading ProSense® users: Dr. Franco Orsi of the European Institute of Oncology, Milan and Principal Investigator of the PRECICE trial, Dr. Toulsie Ramothul of Institute Curie and Principal Investigator of the CRYODESC trial, and Dr. Linda Riks of the Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland Hospital, Rotterdam, Investigator of the THERMAC trial. In addition, ProSense® was featured in three general cryoablation device hands-on training sessions.

 

“Our leadership role at ECIO 2026 included the first dedicated breast cryoablation course, which was overbooked due to the very high level of interest. Most of the faculty mentioned ICE3, ProSense®’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorization, the recent American Society of Breast Surgeons’ updated guidelines, and data from other trials, underscoring the increasing recognition of cryoablation as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery and its potential to become a standard-of-care treatment option,” Shamir concluded.

 

 

 

 

Clinical Data Highlights

 

ICESECRET Trial – Kidney Cancer, 5-Year Results

 

Abstract title: ICESECRET Trial Final analysis: 5-year Safety and Efficacy of Cryoablation for Small Renal Masses Final analysis of the ICESECRET prospective multicenter trial evaluated cryoablation using ProSense® for small renal masses:

 

114 patients (mean age 69.1 years) underwent 138 procedures with mean tumor size of 2.4 cm

 

Technical success rate of 92.5% in procedures without anatomical limitations

 

83.9% of patients remained recurrence-free at a median follow-up of 4.0 years

 

Recurrence-free rate increased to 89.4% in patients with unifocal tumors ≤3 cm without prior ipsilateral kidney cancer, and successful procedures

 

Minimal impact on renal function and hemoglobin levels, with short hospitalization of an average of 1.3 days

 

The study concluded that cryoablation was highly effective for tumors ≤3 cm and safe for lesions up to 5 cm.

 

Breast Cryoablation Study in Turkey – Early-Stage Breast Cancer
Oral presentation title: Percutaneous Cryoablation for Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Initial Experience and Short-Term Outcomes

 

The study evaluated feasibility and outcomes in a prospective cohort:

 

26 patients (28 tumors) with mean tumor size of 11.73 mm were successfully treated

 

No major complications reported; low mean pain score of 1.8 on a scale of 1-5

 

No residual disease detected in evaluable tumors at 6- and 12-month follow-up imaging

 

All procedures were performed on an outpatient basis with short recovery times

 

100% of patients reported excellent cosmetic outcomes (5/5 satisfaction)

 

The study demonstrated that cryoablation was a safe and effective minimally invasive option for early-stage breast cancer with excellent short-term outcomes.

 

Breast Fibroadenoma Study in Hungary – Volume Reduction at 6 and 12 months

Poster presentation titled: Liquid Nitrogen–Based Cryoablation for Fibroadenoma: Retrospective Analysis of Prospectively Collected Data

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ProSense® liquid nitrogen–based cryoablation for the treatment of multiple large fibroadenomas:

 

78 women with 1 to 4 fibroadenomas ranging 7-80 mm in diameter underwent cryoablation

 

Mean procedure time was 13 ± 10.4 minutes with one to five cryoprobe relocations

 

A single freeze–thaw–freeze cycle was sufficient in 76% of cases

 

Median volume reduction was 80.6% at 6 months and 92.9% at 12 months, both of which were statistically significant

 

The study concluded that ProSense® is a safe and effective treatment for fibroadenomas, including large and multifocal lesions, achieving substantial volume reduction at one year and supporting its role as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.
