Completed
Conditions
Benign Breast Conditions; Breast Fibroadenomas
Registration Number
NCT00807924
Lead Sponsor
Novian Health Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this patient tracking program is to monitor long term safety and effectiveness of the Novilase™ device and method in real world application.

Detailed Description

ABLATE is a prospective, observational multi-center tracking database which will evaluate clinical outcomes from patients undergoing Novilase for benign breast conditions (i.e. fibroadenomas, papillomas, etc). Data captured will assess the potential advantages and disadvantages of the procedure as compared with lumpectomy. Tumor characteristics, equipment used, complications, patient satisfaction and cosmesis ratings will also be tracked.
