Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Females, aged 18 years and older
  • Able to give written informed consent herself
  • Definitive pathologic diagnosis by needle core biopsy
  • Unifocal malignant tumor (T1a-c, N0-1, M0) that does not exceed 15 mm in longest dimension and measures at least 5 mm away from the skin and chest wall, or can be moved at least 5 mm away from the skin and chest wall by injection of saline or local anesthetic
  • No more than 10 mm of calcifications confined to the tumor on imaging
  • Tumor is well visualized through ultrasound or x-ray mammography imaging and amenable to image-guidance therapy (i.e., a tumor which is well visualized through imaging can be identified from surrounding breast tissue and does not have margins obscured by other structures or artifacts on the images)
  • Tumor is well visualized on MRI
  • Subject with mammographic appearance of overall dense parenchymal tissue may be included, as long as a clearly evident marker is present at tumor site
  • Tumor with less than 25% intraductal component, as determined by core biopsy
  • No clinically significant co-morbidities (e.g., chronic illnesses existing simultaneously with and usually independent of breast cancer) that affect life expectancy
  • Subject weight limited to ≤300 lbs. or ≤136 kg
  • Subject agrees to comply with standard of care radiation or adjuvant therapy as prescribed by physician

Exclusion

  • Subject younger than 18 years of age
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Tumor poorly visualized by ultrasound or x-ray mammography imaging
  • Contraindications to administration of gadolinium-based contrast agent, including: prior allergic reaction to a gadolinium-based contrast agent, moderate to end-stage kidney disease, and/or acute or chronic severe renal insufficiency (Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<30ml/min/1.73 sq. meters)
  • Contraindications to MRI according to site guidelines (e.g., cardiac pacemaker, metallic implants)
  • History of severe asthma
  • Tumor measuring greater than 15 mm in longest dimension
  • Microcalcifications that extend beyond target tumor such that overall longest dimension of target tumor and calcifications is longer than 15 mm.
  • Advanced stage breast cancer
  • Tumors that are lobular neoplasm, metastatic carcinoma to breast, sarcoma, Phyllodes tumor, or Paget's disease
  • Tumor with only DCIS with microinvasion
  • Extensive intraductal component in lesion (i.e., \>25%) as determined by core biopsy
  • Subject who is known to be BRCA positive
  • Tumor that is ER/PR/HER2 negative (TNBC)
  • Inability to lie in prone or supine position for one hour
  • Subject who is currently participating in another investigational treatment, device or drug study through follow up that would interfere with this trial
  • Subject without a definitive HER2 test according to ASCO/CAP guidelines
