Can a hyperthyroid nodule be ablated?

Ablation is usually not done if the hyperthyroid nodule is malignant, and can usually be done if the hyperthyroid nodule is benign. There are strict indications for ablation of hyperthyroid nodules. First of all, a puncture biopsy should be done before the radiofrequency ablation procedure to determine the nature of the thyroid nodule. If the hyperthyroid nodule is benign, it can be treated with radiofrequency ablation. If the hyperthyroid nodule is malignant, radiofrequency ablation surgery is not recommended. It can be treated with radical surgery. Patients with hyperthyroid nodules are advised to choose a reasonable treatment plan under the guidance of their doctors. Note that in the course of treatment, the patient’s thyroid function should also be monitored in a timely manner.
