First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 30, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested a freezing technique called cryoablation for people with rare, non-cancerous but aggressive desmoid tumors in areas like the chest or limbs. The goal was to stop tumor growth and relieve pain in 50 patients whose tumors kept growing despite at least two other treatments. The approach uses precise freezing under imaging guidance to destroy tumor cells without major surgery.
