Treatment of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules by percutaneous ethanol injection
BACKGROUND: Autonomous thyroid nodules can be treated by a variety of methods. We assessed the efficacy of percutaneous ethanol injection in treating autonomous thyroid nodules. METHODS: 35 patients diagnosed by technetium-99 scanning with hyperfunctioning nodules and suppressed sensitive TSH (sTSH) were given sterile ethanol injections under ultrasound guidance. 29 patients had clinical and bi...
متن کاملPossibilities of nontoxic autonomous thyroid nodules treatment by percutaneous ethanol injection.
BACKGROUND/AIM According to the current principles, autonomous functional thyroid nodules are treated by surgery or by radioiodin therapy. Ultrasound guided percutaneous ethanol injection into solid tumors of the soft tissues was a starting point in attempts to treat the thyroid nodules by the same method. The aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of percutaneous injection in treating s...
متن کاملPercutaneous Ethanol Injection in Thyroid Nodules: Preliminary Results
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) was first introduced for treatment of thyroid nodules in 1990 (1). The procedure has previously been used for treatment of several benign and malignant conditions, including parathyroid and hepatic tumors (2). Özdemir and co-workers were the first researchers who performed PEI in Turkey with successful results (3). This paper reports our center’s initial exp...
متن کاملPercutaneous ethanol injection plus radioiodine versus radioiodine alone in the treatment of large toxic thyroid nodules.
UNLABELLED Therapeutic options for toxic thyroid nodules (TTNs) are surgery, radioiodine (RAI), and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI). Surgery is generally considered for TTNs larger than 4 cm. However, some patients may be at high surgical risk. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 nonsurgical modalities for these TTNs. METHODS Twenty-two patients with TTNs larger th...
متن کاملPercutaneous ethanol injection for benign cystic thyroid nodules: is aspiration of ethanol-mixed fluid advantageous?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We evaluated the differences between percutaneous ethanol injection with and without aspiration of ethanol-mixed fluid for treatment of benign cystic thyroid nodules. METHODS We examined 60 patients with benign cystic thyroid nodules confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy and divided them into 2 groups according to nonaspiration (group A, n = 30) or aspiration (grou...
