Abstract:
A device, method, and system are provided for immobilizing and stabilizing a breast in preparation for tumor ablation or biopsy while the patient is lying supine. The breast is lifted away from the chest wall of the patient, so that the tissue abnormality to be treated is also lifted away from the chest wall. This reduces the possibility of damage to the neighboring costochondral wall and the surrounding healthy tissue. The device includes a medical device holder that can be used to accurately aim a medical probe, and hold it in place during treating.
