ABSTRACT Objective: Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) is an alternative to surgery for the treatment of thyroid nodules (TNs). However, size reductions of treated (TTNs) and untreated TN (UTNs) have not been compared. Volumetric reductions in TTNs with PEI were evaluated by comparing TTNs and UTNs in...
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in reducing the volume of cystic and mixed thyroid nodules. Materials and methods A total of 36 patients with nodules treated with PEI and 13 individuals who declined PEI and were followed clinically or recei...
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of TSH-suppressive therapy with levothyroxine (LT4) on the volume of clinically solitary thyroid nodules, assessing possible correlations between response to therapy and clinical and laboratory parameters. Forty-eight euthyroid patients with a single palpab...
