Predicting desmoid tumor growth after cryoablation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a desmoid tumor that was treated with cryoablation at Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli.
- You had an MRI before the cryoablation treatment.
- You have had follow-up visits every 3 months for at least 6 months after cryoablation.
- Your follow-up includes an MRI and check-ups until the tumor grows again or you start a new treatment.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
