Muse Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound System for the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of a new investigational device, MUSE Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound System (MRgFUS) System in treating patients with breast cancer. The MRgFUS System destroys part of the tumor through the use of heat from a focused ultrasound (thermal ablation) that is guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Focused ultrasound is a sound wave that is focused down to a small point, about the size of a grain of rice, similar to the way a magnifying glass can focus light. The focused waves heat up tissue, causing tissue damage. The MRgFUS System may be a less invasive way to treat breast cancer.
