Cryotherapy in the Treatment of Desmoid Tumors
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Desmoid tumor is a benign neoplasm with an unpredictable course and a high rate of local recurrence if treated surgically. Therefore, over time the surgical approach has become conservative, preferring simple observation or medical therapy in case of disease progression through the use of hormonal therapy and low-dose chemotherapy. Since this neoplasm remains benign, our study aims to avoid chemotherapy in patients usually young through the use of a minimally invasive treatment such as cryotherapy.
