Ultrasound-guided biopsy for uterine fibroids before surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of taking a small tissue sample from a uterine fibroid using ultrasound guidance, right before your planned surgery. The sample helps doctors understand the fibroid better, and the procedure is less invasive than older methods.

This trial looks at whether taking a small tissue sample (biopsy) before surgery can help doctors better understand unusual uterine growths that look like fibroids. If you're already planning surgery to remove such a growth, this study might help guide your treatment.
This trial compares two treatments for painful or heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids). It may help you decide which option fits your needs.
This study tests a special tool for removing uterine fibroids during a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. The tool helps break the fibroids into smaller pieces so they can be removed with smaller cuts, and the study aims to see how well it works for women who want to keep their uterus.
This study compares two approaches for women with uterine fibroids who are undergoing IVF: having surgery to remove the fibroids first, or going straight to IVF without surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better pregnancy outcomes.
This study tests a new way to take a small tissue sample from a growth in the uterus using a thin needle through the cervix, which may help diagnose the growth before surgery. It aims to see if this method is safe and accurate.
This study tests a new device that helps remove uterine fibroids during laparoscopic surgery, which uses small cuts. It aims to make fibroid removal safer and easier while preserving the uterus.
