Researchers are evaluating the safety and clinical accuracy of the SIRA-1000, a radiofrequency ablation (RFA) electrosurgical device, in patients undergoing breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. The study focuses on using RFA to treat the margins surrounding the tumor site after lumpectomy, aiming to destroy remaining cancer cells in the tissue around the lump. This feasibility study is designed for women diagnosed with specific types of breast cancer, including infiltrating ductal carcinoma with certain hormone receptor statuses and tumor grades. During surgery, after the tumor is removed, the surgeon will place the SIRA-1000 device into the breast cavity and perform the RFA procedure to ablate the tissue margins around the surgical site. The device is secured with a stitch to maintain contact with the tissue. After ablation, tissue samples including the tumor and ablated edges are sent for microscopic examination. The surgery then proceeds as standard, with patient discharge based on routine post-surgical care. Participants will be monitored for safety by tracking adverse events over approximately 12 months, with follow-up extending up to five years. Healing will be assessed using the BREAST-Q Questionnaire at six months. The study involves tissue evaluations and patient-reported outcomes to measure recovery and treatment safety. Overall, the trial spans multiple years of observation to gather comprehensive data on the device's performance and patient healing.

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Day of surgery
Participants undergo breast conserving surgery. During surgery, the SIRA-1000 radiofrequency ablation device is placed in the breast cavity to treat the margins of the lumpectomy site. Surgery is completed as standard and discharge is determined by the medical team.
1 surgical visit (in-person)
Duration - Up to 12 months with follow-up for 5 years
Participants are monitored for safety and healing after the surgery and device treatment, including assessment of adverse events and healing process using questionnaires.
Regular follow-up visits over 12 months and annual visits up to 5 years
