CAESAREA, Israel, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 its participation in the American Society of Breast Surgeons ("ASBrS") 2026 Annual Meeting, in Seattle from April 29 to May 3, 2026, where it exhibited ProSense® and sponsored a breakfast symposium titled "Unlocking De-Escalation: Cryoablation for Breast Cancer." The symposium highlighted the growing clinical adoption of cryoablation as a minimally invasive option for the treatment of low-risk breast cancer, an indication for which ProSense® received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") marketing clearance in October 2025.
The IceCure-sponsored symposium featured leading breast surgeons and cryoablation users, including Richard Fine, M.D., breast oncology surgeon at West Cancer Center & Research Institute, Michael Sabel, M.D., Professor of Surgical Oncology at the University of Michigan, Lauren Kopicky, M.D., breast surgical oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic, and Robert Ward, M.D., Associate Professor of Radiology at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. These physicians from prominent institutions, such as Cleveland Clinic and the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, shared real-world experience using IceCure's ProSense® system, and discussed the role of cryoablation in enabling de-escalation of care for appropriate patients.
"As sales of ProSense® continue to accelerate in the U.S. following FDA clearance in low-risk breast cancer late last year, our participation at ASBrS 2026 is an important factor expected to add further visibility and demand for our cryoablation system. We were very pleased to sponsor the important symposium, where breast surgeons from across the U.S. and the world had the opportunity to hear directly from experienced ProSense® users," said Eyal Shamir, Chief Executive Officer of IceCure. "It is especially encouraging to see cryoablation now included in leading treatment guidelines for early-stage breast cancer, which we believe is a significant step toward broader adoption. As more clinical data are generated and shared by leading institutions, we believe that cryoablation is advancing toward becoming a standard-of-care option for appropriately selected patients."
Dr. Lauren Kopicky of Cleveland Clinic commented, "Cryoablation with ProSense® provides a new option in the de-escalation of breast cancer care, meaning a less invasive or reduced level of intensity of care while maintaining effective outcomes, for patients aged 70 and above with low-risk cancer. Performed in a short-office visit under local anesthesia, patients are able to return to their daily lives quickly and without significant cosmetic impact on the breast. This is an innovation that women with low-risk breast cancer have been waiting for."
The ASBrS Resource Guide for the Use of Cryoablation in Breast Cancer was recently updated to include cryoablation as a recommended local treatment option for select patients with low-risk, early-stage breast cancer. The guidelines recognize cryoablation as a minimally invasive option to surgery, particularly for patients with favorable tumor biology, and emphasize the importance of careful patient selection, imaging, and follow-up. The inclusion of cryoablation in these guidelines reflects the growing body of clinical evidence supporting its safety and efficacy, as well as increasing acceptance among breast surgeons and multidisciplinary care teams.
