Radiofrequency Ablation Study in LatinX Patients
Study of the Use of Radiofrequency Ablation in LatinX Patients With Symptomatic Benign Thyroid Nodules
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Nov 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Benign thyroid nodules can still create cosmetic, compressive, or hormonal issues for patients. In the past, surgery was typically used to treat thyroid nodules causing the above issues through partial or complete thyroidectomy. More recently, minimally-invasive techniques have been developed to treat these issues. This study is investigating the use of one of these techniques, radiofrequency ablation, in Latinx patients with benign symptomatic thyroid nodules. This procedure is of interest because it avoids the risks of surgery and can be done outside an operating room. The study hypothesis is that the use of RFA is an effective and safe therapeutic option for LatinX patients with a symptomatic benign nodule wishing to avoid surgery.
