Minimally Invasive Cryotherapy Treatment for Desmoid Tumors in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Desmoid tumors are benign growths that can recur locally after surgery and have an unpredictable course. Because of this, treatment has shifted away from surgery toward careful observation or medical therapies such as hormonal treatments and low-dose chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate cryotherapy as a minimally invasive treatment option to avoid chemotherapy, especially in younger patients with desmoid tumors. The treatment under study is cryotherapy, which involves using anesthesia and imaging-guided percutaneous probes to freeze the tumor tissue. The probes create ice spheres up to 3 cm in size to thoroughly treat the tumor. This procedure is done under CT control to ensure accuracy and safety. Participants will be monitored to assess their response to cryotherapy starting from the baseline before treatment. The study measures how the tumor responds to this treatment over time. Participants will undergo necessary evaluations and imaging to track treatment effects and safety. The total duration and follow-up details are based on individual patient progress and response.
