Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that is used to treat these types of thyroid lumps.
RFA does not involve any open surgery. It is done by inserting a thin needle into the thyroid gland. Once the needle is in the target nodule, a generator is connected to the needle and thermal energy is produced at its tip. This thermal energy ablates the abnormal tissue in the nodule and over the next few weeks to months the nodule shrinks in size and starts disappearing.
