At Utah Endocrinology Associates, we specialize in treating all thyroid conditions and disorders. If you have a benign thyroid nodule, surgery isn't your only option. We are proud to be one of the few centers in the United States offering four advanced, minimally invasive procedures including Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), to safely shrink or eliminate problematic nodules—often without the need for general anesthesia or a visible scar.
Thyroid nodules, enlargement (goiter), or cancer can affect thyroid function. Symptoms may include:
Because thyroid-related symptoms can mimic other conditions, getting an accurate diagnosis is essential. Our endocrinology specialists have advanced training in thyroidology and specialize in treating all types of thyroid disorders with compassionate, evidence-based care.
We perform thyroid-specific blood tests and our state of the art facility offers advanced tools including in-office thyroid ultrasound to accurately identify and monitor your thyroid nodule. This is often followed by a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) to determine if the nodule is benign or cancerous.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Radio Wave Ablation (RWA), Nanosecond Pulse Field Ablation (nsPFA) and Ethanol Ablation are minimally invasive procedures used to treat benign thyroid nodules. These treatments offer a safe and effective alternative to surgery or radioactive iodine therapy, with minimal side effects and a faster recovery time.
These minimally invasive treatment options are suitable for patients with symptomatic or cosmetically concerning thyroid nodules and cysts that are not cancerous. The benefits of RFA, RWA, and Ethanol Ablation include:
At Utah Endocrinology Associates, we are dedicated to providing personalized care and exploring all available treatment options to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients.
