Can a targeted procedure ease the burden of desmoid tumors?
NCT ID NCT07755176
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study asks whether a procedure called percutaneous ablation can reduce symptoms and improve daily life for adults with desmoid tumors. Participants will complete surveys before and after the procedure to track symptom severity, pain, recovery, and how the tumor responds on imaging. The goal is to better understand the real-world impact of this treatment from the patient's perspective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- percutaneous ablation (a procedure using heat or cold to destroy the tumor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand whether ablation improves symptoms and quality of life for people with desmoid tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on patient-reported outcomes, not a direct comparison of treatments. Results may not apply to all patients, and ablation carries risks like pain or complications.
