Comparison between radioiodine therapy and single‐session radiofrequency ablation of autonomously functioning thyroid nodules: A retrospective study

Summary Objective To compare the efficacy of Radioiodine (RI) and Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs). End‐points: nodule volume reduction (NVR) and thyroid function normalization. Design, patients and measurements Twenty‐two patients (2:20 M:F; 51.9 ± 13.9 years) affected by 25 AFTNs, treated by RFA were retrospectively compared with 25 patients (8:17 M:F; 57.2 ± 12.8 years)...
