Arterial embolization for desmoid tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 12 years old or older.
- Your desmoid tumor is causing symptoms and has grown recently.
- You are not able to have surgery or cryoablation (freezing treatment) for your tumor.
- You can have an MRI (magnetic imaging) scan.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or a current infection.

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 study follows people with desmoid-type fibromatosis using scans and health information to see how the tumor behaves. It may help patients and doctors decide when “watch and wait” is the right approach and when treatment is needed.
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 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 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 study tests a procedure called arterial embolization, which blocks blood flow to bone tumors, to see if it can reduce pain or prevent fractures. It is for people with bone cancer that has spread from another cancer (metastases).
