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.

Russell JO, Desai DD, Noel JE, et al. Radiofrequency ablation of benign thyroid nodules: A prospective, multi-institutional North American experience. Surgery. 2024;175(1):139-145. doi:10.1016/j.surg.2023.07.046

This study explores the use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or related thermal techniques for treating benign thyroid nodules. It highlights clinical outcomes, safety, and effectiveness relevant to both patients and insurance providers. 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.
