Radiofrequency ablation for desmoid tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a desmoid tumor (a non-cancerous growth).
- Your tumor is growing, causing symptoms, or affecting how your body works.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are generally well enough to perform daily activities (ECOG 0-2).
- Your kidney, liver, heart, and blood cell counts are within acceptable ranges.
- You do not have other cancers, serious heart or brain conditions, or an active infection.

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 study follows patients with desmoid tumors who are having a procedure called ablation, which uses heat or cold to destroy the tumor. The study asks patients about their symptoms and quality of life after the procedure to see how well it works.
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 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.
This study tests a new medication for adults with desmoid tumors (rare, slow-growing tumors that form in connective tissue). You may qualify if your tumor has grown recently, causes pain, or has come back after previous treatment.
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining cryoablation (freezing the tumor) with nirogacestat (a targeted pill treatment) can better control desmoid tumors that are growing or causing symptoms. It may help shrink tumors and improve symptoms, especially when freezing alone is challenging.
