Ultrasound-guided Thermal Ablation for the Treatment of Benign Thyroid Nodules: A Multicenter Study


Sponsor

Chinese PLA General Hospital

Enrollment

1,500 participants

Start Date

Dec 9, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

To evaluate long-term outcomes of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for benign thyroid nodules


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting outcomes data on patients who have had ultrasound-guided thermal ablation (a minimally invasive heat-based procedure) to treat benign (non-cancerous) thyroid nodules. This procedure destroys the nodule using heat delivered through a needle, avoiding the need for surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - Your thyroid nodule has been confirmed as benign (non-cancerous) on two separate biopsies - Ultrasound does not show any suspicious features suggesting cancer - You have cosmetic concerns, symptoms, or a rapidly growing nodule - You declined surgery or are not eligible for it - You have been followed up for at least 12 months after the procedure **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your biopsy showed a suspicious or cancerous finding - Ultrasound suggests possible cancer even with a benign biopsy result - You have paralysis of the vocal cord on the opposite side from the nodule - You have had radiation to your head or neck previously - You have less than 12 months of follow-up data Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
