Doctors freeze tumors to stop pain and disability
NCT ID NCT02476305
Summary
This study tested a procedure called cryoablation, which freezes tumors, for people with painful desmoid tumors that kept growing despite trying at least two standard medications. The goal was to see if freezing the tumor could stop its growth, relieve pain, and improve quality of life for patients who were not good candidates for surgery. The procedure was performed on 50 adults with tumors located outside the abdomen.
