Memenin fibroadenomlarına uygulanan mikro dalga ablasyon tekniği ile erken dönem tedavi yanıtlarının değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Objective: Benign breast lesions are one of the most common diseases detected in women and the popularity of minimally invasive methods has increased in recent years for the treatment of these lesions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the microwave ablation (MWA) technique as a potential therapeutic option for fibroadenomas.Method: Pre-and post-procedure magnetic resonance images of a total of 20 patients, who were diagnosed with fibroadenomas, who underwent MWA therapy, were evaluated. Follow-up was performed with MR imaging for 6 months after the ablation treatment. Results:The mean age of the patients was found to be 27.6 (15-50) years. The mean size of fibroadenomas was measured within the range of 20.2 (9-35) mm. Technical success was achieved in all patients. After the procedure, central enhancement disappeared (100%). Furthermore, approximately 79.6% regression was obtained in tumor volume. Conclusion:MWA technique is an effective in the treatment of fibroadenomas. Treatment efficacy can be measured in the early period with MR imaging reliably.
