Yes: It depends on what you consider 'new.' most women still have hysterectomy for fibroids. Some have myomectomy. Embolization (uae) is effective in ~90% of women and allows them to avoid surgery. Mri guided ultrasound continues to have relatively disappointing results. Medical therapies are being tested which may help women avoid any invasive procedure, but they are several years from being available.
