Microwave ablation for breast fibroadenoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman 18 or older.
- You have a breast fibroadenoma (a non-cancerous lump) that was confirmed by ultrasound or a biopsy if needed.
- The lump measures between 0.7 and 3.0 cm (roughly the size of a blueberry to a walnut) and is at least 1 cm away from your skin, chest muscle, and nipple.
- You want treatment because the lump causes symptoms or you prefer a non-surgical option.
- You do not have cancer, an active infection, a bleeding disorder, or a lump too close to the skin, muscle, or nipple.

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.
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 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 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 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.
