RATIONALE: Radiofrequency ablation uses a high-frequency, electric current to kill tumor cells. Giving radiofrequency ablation before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well radiofrequency ablation followed by surgery works in treating patients with early invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ.
