ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of breast fibroadenoma in different studies.METHODS:
Studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of US-guided HIFU in the treatment of histologically-proven FA with follow-up outcomes of more than 3 months were searched through MEDLINE/PubMed databases. Volume reduction rate (VRR) and side effects were extracted and compared for further analysis.RESULTS:
Of 29 identified articles, 10 studies involving 385 women and more than 545 FAs met the inclusion criteria. The mean VRR at 6 months and 12 months after HIFU was 52.00% and 72.00%. In terms of intraoperative safety, nine studies reported mild to moderate pain, with an average visual analogue scale (VAS) score ranging from 1.60 to 7.10. The most common postoperative side effect associated with HIFU was subcutaneous ecchymosis and less frequent were pain, erythema, and skin pigmentation, most of which disappeared within weeks. No serious side effects were observed.CONCLUSION:
S-guided HIFU is an effective and safe noninvasive treatment for breast FA that does not cause serious side effects. Further studies are needed to explore crucial influencing factors of VRR.Palabras clave
