Using radiofrequency ablation to treat indeterminate thyroid nodules

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treating indeterminate Bethesda III thyroid nodules. It involves a chart review where patient data is collected before and after the RFA procedure, which uses image guidance to deliver high-frequency electrical currents to the nodules, generating heat to treat them. The study aims to provide insights into the outcomes of RFA, potentially reducing unnecessary surgeries for patients with benign nodules.
