Microwave ablation for breast fibroadenoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, needle-based treatment using microwave energy to shrink or destroy breast fibroadenomas, which are non-cancerous lumps. It offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, with ultrasound guidance to target the lump precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a woman aged 18 or older
- Have a breast fibroadenoma diagnosed by ultrasound (and biopsy only if needed)
- The fibroadenoma should measure between 0.7 and 3.0 cm
- The fibroadenoma should not be too close to the skin, chest muscle, or nipple
- The fibroadenoma should cause symptoms or you prefer a minimally invasive treatment

This study tests a minimally invasive treatment that uses heat from microwave energy to shrink and remove a non-cancerous breast lump (fibroadenoma) without surgery. It may offer a safer option with better cosmetic results for women who are bothered by their lump.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using microwave energy to destroy small lung tumors, guided by a thin tube through the airways. It may be an option if you can't have standard surgery or radiation, or choose not to.
This study tests a new microwave device that uses heat to destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if your nodule is 20 mm or smaller and cannot be removed with surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to destroy lung tumors. It is for people who are already candidates for surgery but may want a less invasive option.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.
This trial tests a device that uses radiofrequency energy to help remove breast cancer during surgery. It may be an option for women over 50 with a specific type of early-stage breast cancer.
