Why stopped (as posted): Changes to the HIFU-SURG-FA study protocol, a number of centers have decided not to continue the study, including our national coordinating center.
Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a multi-center, crossover study with cluster randomization and a planned accrual of 300 patients with diagnosed breast fibroadenoma (One fibroadenoma treated per patient). This is a trial based prospective cost consequence study. Costs will be estimated from the viewpoint of the healthcare system and from the patient's perspective

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients 18 to 45 years old with at least one diagnosed breast fibroadenoma * Diagnosis of fibroadenoma must be based on: * clinical examination * ultrasound image alone for patients Under 35 years old. For women older than 35 years, a mammogram will be performed in addition to ultrasound. the BI-RADS score of this mammogram must be less than 3. In all cases where an uncertainly exists, the patient will not be included. * histological confirmation after core needle biopsy by two independant readers (biopsy must be performed at least two weeks before therapy unless a micro biopsy has been already done less than 3 months before inclusion visit and histopathology slices are available) * the requirements for the distance from the skin and the following régions of the fibroadenoma are: * depth anterior edge \< 19.4mm * nodule thickness \> 7.3 mm * depth of posterior edge \> 12.5 mm * depth to rib cage \> 10mm * patient's fibroadenoma size is greater to equal to 0.3 cc (measured by ultrasound on the day of the procedure) * Lesions should be less than 20 mL * The lesion must be sonographically visible * Lesions presented during previous surveillance a minimum 20% increase volume AND/OR * Patient are presenting a pain level \>= 3 as meaured on the VAS during the last 30 days AND/OR * Patient are presenting a anxiety level \>= 3 as meaured on the VAS during the last 30 days before selection visit * Fibroadenoma is palpable * Patient candidate for sugery * Patient has signed a written informed consent * Patient with a social security coverage Exclusion Criteria: * Patient is pregnant or lactating * Patient with history of laser or radiotherapy in the targeted breast * Core biopsy diagnosis suggestive of cytosarcoma phyllodes tumor or other malignancy * Patient with breast implant in the targeted breast * Patient with predominantly liquid nodule * Macro-calcifications in pre-focal HIFU path * Nipple and or areola in pre-focal HIFU path * Patient's fibroadenoma not clearly visible on the ultrasound images (in B-mode) at the inclusion visit * Scars or moles before the focal point of the HIFU * Patient participating in another clinical trial involving an investigational drug, or device
