This study tests a new light-based therapy (photodynamic therapy) using methylene blue to treat breast abscesses without surgery. If you have a breast abscess, this treatment might help drain it and clear the infection more comfortably.
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 study tests a new ultrasound-guided method to break up and remove benign (non-cancerous) breast lumps using sound waves, so you can avoid visible scars. It's an option for women who want an effective but less invasive treatment.
This trial tests if draining a lung abscess through a tube placed in the chest is effective. If you have a lung abscess at least 4 cm wide in the outer part of your lung and signs of infection, you may be able to join.
This study looks at surgical treatment for granulomatous lobular mastitis that has not been improving with non-surgical care. It may help people with more widespread or complicated breast inflammation, especially when there are abscesses or skin breakdown.
This trial tests a new treatment using a light-activated dye (methylene blue) that is injected into deep abscesses during normal drainage. The goal is to kill bacteria and reduce infection. This might help people who need drainage for a deep abscess, by possibly speeding recovery or improving outcomes.
