Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for breast fibroadenoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman, age 18 or older.
- You have a benign (non-cancerous) breast lump called a fibroadenoma, confirmed by a biopsy.
- The lump is causing symptoms (like pain) or you are unhappy with how it looks.
- The lump is sized between about 1 and 4 centimeters.
- You are not pregnant, do not have an active breast infection, and do not have bleeding problems.
- You are willing to give written consent and come back for follow-up visits.

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.
This study tests a treatment called microwave ablation that uses heat to shrink uterine fibroids. The goal is to reduce symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain without surgery.
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 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 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 compares two minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids: using microwave energy alone versus combining it with a chemical injection. The goal is to see which approach better reduces symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain, without surgery.
