Filter by:Compared with traditional treatment methods, ultrasound-guided thermal ablation is more targeted, less invasive and more reliable. The study compared microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation to evaluate the efficacy and safety in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules with a multicenter data, which will provide a basis for clinical treatment.
The purpose of the present protocol is to evaluate the response rate to treatment of these symptomatic benign nodules with radiofrequency as an alternative to surgical treatment. This thyroid nodules ablation with radiofrequency will be directed by a single percutaneous procedure guided by ultrasound. The procedure includes an ultrasound with percutaneously radiofrequency ablation of benign thyroid nodule. Clinical and ultrasonographic monitoring will last a year with consultations at 2 weeks (consultation only), 3 months, 6 months and 1 year (consultation, ultrasound TSH). The success of this procedure will be controlled with 3 successive ultrasounds the following year. The expected results are a decrease in the size of the nodule by at least 50% and a reduction in the functional and aesthetic discomfort, with less frequent complication than what is expected with surgery. The present study also intends to determine the medico economic impact of this technique compared to surgery.
To evaluate the short-term efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules
This study evaluates the efficacy of the HIFU for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules with the FastScan version using assessment of patient experience and adverse event reporting.
