The Outcomes of Ultrasound-guided Thermal Ablation for Benign Thyroid Nodules

This study is evaluating how well thermal ablation procedures (heat-based treatments) work for shrinking benign thyroid nodules compared to surgery, using ultrasound guidance. **You may be eligible if...** - Your thyroid nodule has been confirmed benign on two separate biopsies - Ultrasound shows no suspicious features - Your nodule is causing cosmetic concerns, symptoms, or is growing - You cannot have or do not want surgery - You have at least 6 months of follow-up data available **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your biopsy showed any signs of cancer or follicular neoplasm - Your nodule is purely cystic (fluid-filled) - You have paralysis of the vocal cord on the opposite side of the nodule - You have had previous radiation to your head or neck - You have not had at least 6 months of follow-up Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
