Radiofrequency ablation of benign thyroid nodules: Value of the anterolateral hydrodissection technique

Yeong Jeong So , Baek Jung Hwan , Rom Chung Sae , Jun Choi Young , Hyun Lee Jeong

Purpose: To evaluate the technical feasibility, efficacy, and safety of the anterolateral hydrodissection (ALHD) technique in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for benign thyroid nodules.Methods: Between November 2019 and April 2020, 39 patients underwent 41 sessions of RFA with ALHD technique for treatment of benign thyroid nodules. ALHD was performed with cold (0°C–4°C) 5% dextrose solution during RFA to minimize pain and secure sufficient s...

Determinants of hypothyroidism post-radioactive therapy in toxic adenomas and toxic multinodular goiter: A multicenter cohort study

Leonor de Oliveira Guia Lopes Maria , Rombo Diogo , Patrocinio Carvalho Ines , Ferreira Rute , Pintao Sophia , Limbert Clotilde , Ferreira Teresa , Sequeira Duarte Joao

Introduction: The definitive treatment of hyperthyroidism caused by toxic adenoma (TA) and toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG) is ablative therapy with radioactive iodine (RAI) or surgical resection of the hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules. Hypothyroidism after RAI therapy is a common complication.Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of hypothyroidism in patients undergoing RAI for AT and BMNT.Methods: A Multicentre ...

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and incidence of thyroid nodules, and associated risk factors in population-based prospective cohort study.Methods: We investigated the prevalence of thyroid nodules using the data of 3,104 adults aged over 50 years, who were enrolled in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study and performed thyroid ultrasonography (US) in 2011-2012. Individuals have been performed US every 2 years, during...

Italian guideline on the management of benign non-hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule causing compressive symptoms

Novizio Roberto , Basile Michele , Scoppola Alessandro , Persichetti Agnese , Attanasio Roberto , Paoletta Agostino , Samperi Irene , Saulle Rosella , Vecchi Simona , Papini Enrico , behalf of all members of guideline panel On

Aim: Diagnostic definition and therapeutic interventions for nodular thyroid disease represent a high healthcare cost and their consequences may have a negative impact on quality of life of patients. This guideline aims at providing a reference for the management of non-functioning, benign thyroid nodules causing local symptoms in adults outside of pregnancy. The purpose is to standardize the treatment, based on the evidence provided by the GRADE method and the expertise of a ...

A pharmacoeconomic analysis from italian guidelines for the management of non-hyperfunctioning, bening thyroid nodules

Samperi Irene , Basile Michele , scoppola alessandro , Persichetti Agnese , Attanasio Roberto , Paoletta Agostino , Saulle Rosella , Vecchi Simona , Novizio Roberto , Papini Enrico , behalf of all members of guideline panel on

Background: Thyroid nodules are the most common endocrine pathology. Due to the widespread use of imaging modalities, mostly ultrasound, the incidental finding of thyroid nodules has increased, reaching a prevalence of 50-60% in adults. Diagnostic definition and therapeutic interventions represent thus an increasing cost for health system. In patient with benign thyroid nodule causing local symptoms, hemithyroidectomy with isthmectomy or total thyroidectomy are the recommended...

Natural course of benign thyroid nodular disease in a borderline iodine-sufficient area: 10-year retrospective follow-up data from a tertiary center

Erdogan Murat , Bahcecioglu Begum , Avcı Merdin Fatma , Emral Rifat , Halil Elhan Atilla , Gullu Sevim

Objective: Thyroid nodules are common in the population more than 90% are benign. Data about the long-term follow-up of benign nodular thyroid disease is limited. We aimed to clarify, clinical outcome, frequency and magnitude of volume changes in cytologically and/or sonographically benign nodules in long-term(> 5 years) follow-up and to determine the predictive features of nodule growth.Methods: We retrospectively collected data of cytologically and...

Percutaneous ethanol sclerotherapy for the treatment of benign cystic thyroid nodules: A 5 year-experience at a tertiary care hospital

Carmona Alexandrino Henrique , Ramalho Diogo , Machado Catarina , Jesus Nuno , Ferreira Marta , Rocha Gustavo , Joao Oliveira Maria

Objectives: Assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for treating benign cystic or predominantly cystic-thyroid nodules (TN).Methods: Retrospective analysis of all euthyroid patients treated with PEI for purely (>90% of cystic component) or predominantly cystic (50%-90% of cystic component) TN between January 2018 to February 2023. Efficacy was defined as 50% or greater reduction in pretreatment volume ...
