Ultrasound-guided treatment for benign breast lumps
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your breast nodule is found to be non-cancerous (benign) by biopsy and appears as a BI-RADS 3 on ultrasound.
- The nodule is larger than 1 cm and is positioned safely away from the skin, chest muscle, and milk ducts.
- You want a minimally invasive treatment with good cosmetic results.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, have no bleeding problems, and have not had prior surgery or radiation on that breast.
- You can cooperate with follow-up visits after the procedure.

This study tests a new, less invasive way to remove fatty lumps (lipomas) using ultrasound to guide a special treatment that breaks them down. It aims to reduce scarring and improve cosmetic results compared to traditional surgery.
This study uses focused ultrasound waves to create detailed images of breast tumors and deliver targeted treatment. It aims to improve how breast tumors are treated while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
This study explores a new way to process ultrasound images of the breast. It is for women who have a finding, cyst, mass, or calcifications seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, and it uses a special ultrasound technique that may provide clearer images without extra radiation.
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
This study is testing a new ultrasound device (ATUSA) to see how well it can image breast lesions that have been classified as suspicious (BI-RADS 4 or 5). If you have a recent finding that needs further evaluation, this research might help improve detection methods.
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.
