To evaluate the clinical outcomes of RFA and MWA for benign thyroid nodules treatment
Recent trends in the management of patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma who have a nonsuspicious or cytologically benign contralateral nodule call into question the need for routine total thyroidectomy. Although the lobectomy for the unilateral thyroid cancer with contralateral benign nodules is sufficient treatment, some of the patients might suffer from the anxiety of the residual benign thyroid nodule and tend to choose total thyroidectomy, which might be overtreatment. Thermal ablation has been proven to be effective in achieving nodule shrinkage and being also free from major complications. In our institution, intraoperative RFA was a proposed alternative strategy to treat the contralateral benign nodules after the thyroid lobectomy for the malignant lobe, which was found to have a better quality of life on anxiety, physiological health, social family, psychological and sensory mentions with a considerable complication rate.
The most common and feared complications of total thyroidectomy are vocal cord paralyses and hypocalcemia. However, post-thyroidectomy dysphagia is not uncommon and has important consequences on the quality of life (QoL). It should be taken seriously by all clinicians.
A 2-years prospective, randomized and multicentric study will be performed to assess the efficacy of metformin compared to sitagliptin on benign thyroid nodules size ≥ 2 cm, in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes.
This clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and the safety of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules.
