Predictors of Initial Response of Thyroid Nodules Treated With RFA, a Multi-Endocrinology Centers Experience From the United States
Our study suggests that larger nodules may still have successful ablation with higher AVR. A longer time of ablation or higher energy delivered may indicate a less responsive thyroid nodule, hence lower AVR and VRP. In AFTN, severity of hyperthyroidism is the strongest predictor of achieving normal euthyroid state post RFA.
