Radiofrequency ablation of benign thyroid nodules: A prospective, multi-institutional North American experience

Radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules aims to achieve a volume reduction rate of ≥50%. However, factors that predict treatment success have not been defined in a large-scale study.

To our knowledge, this is the largest North American cohort of patients with benign thyroid nodules treated with radiofrequency ablation. Overall, radiofrequency ablation was an effective treatment option with a low risk of procedural complications. Large volume nodules (>20 mL) may be associated with a lower rate of successful reduction with radiofrequency ablation treatment.
