Management of Breast Fibroadenoma: Comparing Observation, Microwave Ablation, and Surgical Excision

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare three different management strategies for benign breast fibroadenoma: conservative management with clinical and radiological follow-up (observation), ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA), and conventional open surgical excision. Fibroadenoma is the most common benign solid breast tumor in young women. While conventional surgical excision provides complete tissue removal, it may result in visible surgical scars, breast volume loss, and contour deformity. Minimally invasive thermal techniques such as microwave ablation offer potential advantages in tissue preservation and cosmetic satisfaction under local anesthesia. This study aims to assess and compare the therapeutic success, safety, postoperative pain, recovery period, complication rates, and cosmetic outcomes among female patients undergoing these three approaches at Sohag University Hospital.

Ultrasound-Guided Microwave Ablation for Breast Fibroadenoma: Safety and Cosmetic Outcomes

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ultrasound-guided microwave ablation is a safe and effective treatment for breast fibroadenoma in adult women. It will also learn about the cosmetic outcome and patient satisfaction after treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: What medical problems or complications do participants have after microwave ablation? Does the treated breast fibroadenoma decrease in size during follow-up? Does pain improve after treatment? What are the cosmetic outcomes and how satisfied are participants with the treatment? Researchers will evaluate the treated fibroadenoma using clinical examinations and breast ultrasound during 12 months of follow-up. Participants will: Have a clinical examination, breast ultrasound, and core needle biopsy before treatment Receive ultrasound-guided microwave ablation under local anesthesia Have follow-up visits at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment Have breast ultrasound examinations during follow-up Have their pain, treatment-related complications, cosmetic outcome, and satisfaction assessed during follow-up

ATUSA Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging for Breast Lesions Evaluation (AUDIBLE) - iSono Health

AUDIBLE is a multi-site, clinical study conducted in the United States aimed at gathering data on 3D Automated Breast Ultrasound imaging using the iSono Health ATUSA system. The study focuses on female participants who have previously been identified with suspicious findings (classified as BIRADs 4 or 5) through standard-of-care diagnostic imaging methods (e.g., hand-held ultrasound, mammograms) and who have been referred for a biopsy. The goal is to create a comprehensive registry that includes multi-modality breast images alongside and biopsy results. The study will enroll up to 800 eligible female patients. In addition to imaging data, the study will collect information from the patient's medical records and biopsy outcomes. The study aims to validate ATUSA's image quality, reproducibility, and correlation with histopathology and radiologist-assigned BI-RADS categories. Additionally, a subset of participants receiving neoadjuvant therapy will be followed longitudinally to evaluate ATUSA's potential for monitoring treatment response and volumetric changes in tumor burden. This study supports the advancement of a patient-friendly, radiation-free, operator-independent ultrasound platform for real-time breast imaging.
