Abstract

Benign thyroid nodule is a  common disease that can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swallowing, hoarseness or loss of aesthetics. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a popular treatment method today because it effectively reduces symptoms and does not leave the scar. Purpose: Evaluate the first step effiacacy of radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules at Thanh Hoa Oncology Hospital. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study on 15 patients with benign thyroid nodule undergoing RFA at Thanh Hoa Oncology Hospital from May 2020 to June 2021. Results: After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, we found that: symptoms, symptom scores, aesthetic scores, volume of nodules or the mean degree of vascularity all decreased with statistical significance. The mean volume reduction at 1 month was 45,52 ± 15,89(%) and at 3 months was 72,15 ± 17,55(%).  Conclusion: The benign thyroid nodules show successful outcomes at the 3 months follow-up examination after RFA.
