First seen Mar 07, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tested a noninvasive treatment for breast fibroadenoma (noncancerous lumps) using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which uses sound waves to heat and destroy targeted tissue. 113 women aged 18 and older with at least one fibroadenoma were enrolled. The goal was to see if HIFU can safely reduce lump size and pain, potentially avoiding surgery.
