Official Title

Treatment of Benign Uterine Disorders Using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU)

Brief Summary

      MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRI-HIFU) has been proven to be a safe and
      effective method in treating uterine fibroids and also adenomyosis. However, systematic
      studies on the effect of this treatment on factors affecting fertility are still lacking.
      Also quite little is known about body's systemic response to MRI-HIFU. Thus the aim of this
      study is to obtain more information on the systemic response of the body to the
      HIFU-treatment when treating non-malignant disease as well as to study the effect of MRI-HIFU
      on factors affecting fertility. Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids or adenomyosis
      suitable for MRI-HIFU treatment are recruited to this study. The severity of symptoms will be
      assessed with UFS-QoL and the same questionnaire will also be used in follow-up 3, 6 and 12
      months after treatment. Blood, urine and endometrium samples will be collected pre- and
      postoperatively and during follow-up 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment. From these
      samples detailed analysis of the immunological, inflammatory and hormonal response will be
      performed. As this is the first study in Finland of treating uterine fibroids and adenomyosis
      using MRI-HIFU, also a report about the efficacy of the MRI-HIFU in treating the uterine
      disorders will be published, and a key tool in assessing the treatment outcome would be the
      UFS-QoL questionnaire.

      Also new methods for improving patient selection as well as treatment efficacy will be
      evaluated in this study.
