Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 UFE causes degeneration. There was a study in London on " laser ablation of fibroids " but I have only been able to read one report on it when it was in it's early stages. I have no idea what the outcome was. There is also a new procedure that uses ultrasound to destroy fibroids. I haven't read anything new on that lately either. Since both of these procedures are done by obgyns, I would imagine there will be more support for them from the gyn community if they are proven to be effective.

Actually, these procedures aren't done by gyns. They're done by radiologists. But, completely patient managed by gyns. Look for more info on this soon as the next phase of the clinical trial gets underway in the coming year....the researchers will be looking for patients to enroll and we certainly hope to share the patient selection criteria and locations the trial is available in as soon as possible.

I've been wondering the very same thing ever since I first read about calcification. It makes sense, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
