During your surgery, after your lump is removed, the surgeon will place the SIRA-1000 in the breast cavity and perform the RF ablation procedure to treat the margins of the lumpectomy surgical site. A stitch will be used to stabilize and secure the tissue around the neck of the SIRA-1000 to ensure that contact is maintained between the SIRA-1000 electrode array and cavity tissue.
Upon completion of the RF ablation treatment, your tumor and the tissue samples from the ablated edges of the surgical site will be sent for review under a microscope (pathology).
After this, your surgery will be completed as standard, and your discharge will be determined by your medical team like any other surgery.
