Minimally-invasive and non-invasive methods of thermal destruction in the treatment of patients with aggressive fibromatosis

The purpose of the study was to characterize various methods of local physical destruction used in the treatment of patients with aggressive fibromatosis and demonstrate international experience of their use. Material and Methods. Literature search was conducted in the electronic databases RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index) and NCBI (National Centre for Biotechnology Information) in the interval time between 2002 and 2022. The review was devoted to the thermal ablation modalities (radiofrequency, microwave ablation, cryodestruction, high-intensity focused ultrasound ablations) used in therapy of patients with desmoid fibromas of various locations, as well as their safety and efficacy.
