Abstract:
Thyroid nodules are common clinical disease, and most of the nodules are benign. After radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment, the volume of benign thyroid nodules will significantly shrink or the nodules will even disappear, thus, the related clinical symptoms induced by the thyroid nodules will be improved. For recent years, radiofrequency ablation has become the treatment of first choice for benign thyroid nodules. This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the research situation concerning the radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of the benign thyroid nodules so as to provide scientific guidance and basis for the relevant clinical research and treatment.
