Discussion

Prospective study shows promising volume reduction in benign thyroid nodules after radiofrequency ablation, highlighting effectiveness and safety.

Radiofrequency ablation led to an average volume reduction ratio of 41% at one month and nearly 70% at six months.
With an 82.9% therapeutic success rate, this technique shows significant improvement in patient symptoms and cosmetic scores.
Conducted as a prospective study involving 68 patients and 80 nodules, evaluations occurred at one and six months post-treatment.
Regression analysis identified that internal nodular components and initial volume were independent factors affecting reduction rates.

Nguyễn et al. (2025) studied this question.
