Microwave ablation for uterine fibroids
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided microwave ablation to treat uterine fibroids. It may be an option if you have fewer than 5 fibroids, each smaller than 10 cm, and are in good general health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 25 or older
- You have not gone through menopause
- You have fewer than 5 uterine fibroids
- Your largest fibroid is smaller than 10 cm
- You are in good general health and can safely have anesthesia or sedation
- You are not pregnant and do not have a bleeding disorder

This study compares two treatments for uterine fibroids: microwave ablation alone versus microwave ablation combined with chemical ablation. The goal is to see if adding chemical ablation improves symptom relief and safety.
This trial tests if ultrasound-guided microwave ablation — a procedure using heat from a small needle — can safely and effectively shrink breast fibroadenomas. It may be an option for women who want to avoid surgery.
This study compares two ways to treat adenomyosis to see which works better for symptom relief. You may be offered either microwave treatment or uterine artery embolization (a procedure that reduces blood flow to the affected area).
This study is testing a decision-making tool to help doctors choose the best care for women with small fibroids that cause no symptoms. It also looks at factors that may affect outcomes when using HIFU, a non-surgical treatment that heats tissue with focused ultrasound.
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 trial tests using a “microwave ablation” procedure to destroy small liver or kidney tumors when surgery isn’t an option or can’t remove everything. It may help patients avoid major surgery by targeting tumors directly with heat.
