Fibroids is one of the conditions the group would like to shine a particular spotlight on and so would like to hear from patients about their own experience of living with fibroids and accessing treatment. The group is encouraging clinicians to ask their patients if they would like to contribute to this survey. Please find the link to the group’s patient survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/fibroids-informed-choice

The group aims to use the findings from this inquiry to produce a report which will assess if women are given an informed choice about treatment options and outline what further improvements might need to be made.

All responses will remain anonymous.  You can visit the group’s website for more information on the inquiry as well as the wider work of the group: http://www.appgwomenshealth.org/.

The post Golfer tells of her MRgFUS treatment for uterine fibroids appeared first on Birmingham Fibroid Clinic.

The Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC) has recommended focused ultrasound (FUS) as a possible “cost-effective strategy” and a “safe and effective, noninvasive, uterine-preserving” option for women seeking treatment for uterine fibroids. A new evidence review by Health Quality Ontario (HQO) led to this recommendation by OHTAC, finding FUS offers significant improvement in fibroid symptoms and rapid post-procedure recovery for women, with a rare occurrence of complications and a low risk of needing further treatments. A companion economic analysis concluded that FUS could result in an annual savings of up to $4.15 million for Ontarians.
These findings by HQO and OHTAC are an important step in recognizing the body of evidence that supports the efficacy and cost benefit of the technology. “We were pleased and not surprised to see that after a thorough review of the evidence, OHTAC found FUS to offer significant treatment advantages for women, including possible fertility preservation, at a reasonable cost,” said Foundation Chairman, Neal F. Kassell, MD.

“We expect these reports to facilitate full adoption of FUS in Ontario and help address the challenges to widespread acceptance of the technology globally.“ – Neal F. Kassell, MD
