Cold therapy for desmoid tumors in adults
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether “cold therapy” (cryotherapy) can shrink or control desmoid tumors. It may help adults whose tumors are located in certain body areas where cryotherapy is considered safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of a desmoid tumor from a biopsy or pathology report
- You are older than 18 years
- Your desmoid tumor is in the abdomen or in non-abdominal areas (extra-abdominal)
- Your tumor is not too close to important nerves or blood vessels, as judged by the procedure team
- Your desmoid tumor is not in the retroperitoneum (a specific deep belly area)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a special MRI analysis (radiomics) can better predict if a desmoid tumor will grow back after freezing treatment (cryoablation) compared to standard methods. It may help doctors decide on future treatment steps.
This trial tests a procedure called arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for people with symptomatic desmoid tumors that are growing and cannot be treated with surgery or cryoablation. The goal is to see if this targeted treatment can control the tumor and relieve symptoms.
This trial tests how safe and effective radiofrequency ablation (using heat to destroy tumor cells) is for people with desmoid tumors that are growing or causing symptoms.
This trial tests a treatment called arterial embolization for desmoid tumors (non-cancerous growths) that are causing symptoms and growing. The goal is to see if blocking the blood supply to the tumor can shrink it or stop it from growing.
This trial tests cryoablation (freezing the tumor with a needle) as a way to treat small, low-risk breast cancers without surgery. It is for women 50 or older whose cancers are hormone-receptor-positive and haven't spread to lymph nodes.
This trial compares freezing the tumor (cryoablation) with standard medication for people with desmoid tumors that have grown or caused more symptoms. It aims to see which approach works better when the tumor is not in the belly.
