Love it! Great Job Dr. Nikravan 👏👏
Thank you very much her two year follow-up shows complete resolution of the mass/ thyroid cancer
Amazing. What a great educational video.
Those are such amazing news!
Yay. Let's do away with overtreatment and unnecessary thyroid surgery. Love the RFA group.
What are chances of it growing back after RFA? I have seen some comments regarding this on other videos that it grew back!!
If a nodule has been completely treated it is extremely likely that it will grow back. If their areas of untreatment those areas can possibly go back. Our 4+ year data shows no regrowth for nodules that have been successfully treated.
@Pezhman101
Sorry no too clear. First you say extremely likely to grow back. Then you mention at end no regrowth. Pls clarify for me!
Sir suspicious of follicular neoplasm
4.9 cm can you treat dr.
What is the genetic reading of this nodule?
Where are they?
I did RFA on my node and I have lymph node involvement and it was bigger than 1cm. 😁 in Germany.
With cancer ***
Plz may I ask which tirades was it ? In the ultrasound ??? And since when did u do it
@@r.m5883 what is the name of the hospital and doctor please?
So, do you not do this procedure on someone with stage 3 colon cancer that is two year out and stable?
Are you referring to the thyroid or the colon? If a patient has colon cancer, there is no contraindications on doing a thyroid radio frequency ablation.
This was 2 yrs ago. Can they now treat bigger cancer nodules???
Yes, we have treated nodules that are bigger, but it depends on the size of the location. Nodules that are bigger may need to be treated more than one occasion.
@@Pezhman101great to hear. I have just been diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma. The nodule measures 1.8cm. Would I be a possible candidate doctor,
I think the problem is the doses you gave in past. So much so that you dissolved the entire thyroid. I had no cancer, tiny nodule,and now 20 years later-gone. I’d like to sue the endo who did mine,I first got diagnosed as hypothyroid. It’s GREAT! I also was diagnosed at the age of 34 with high cholesterol, and now high cortisol,depression,pre-diabetic,and there is none of these diseases in all my maternal,paternal family members!
If this is anything like the radiation treatment I got in 1986, think alternatives instead.I’ve been on hypothyroid synthetic thyroid medicine since and have never
returned to my weight for adult years until radiation to.
I want to sue the endo so bad for not offering me the alternative of taking medicine the rest of my life to counter hyperthyroidism. I’ve had to take 5 meds since “fixed” it and I lose my voice all the time. No more choir.
I was always 135-145.
Now 174-180 with nothing helping me lose!
It is unfortunate when patients do not get the appropriate response or treatment plan but that also depends the severity, the disease process, and the time when it presents regarding what treatments are available. The goal is always to offer the most minimally invasive approach to gain the maximum benefits with informed consent.
