ETHANOL ABLATION FOR TREATING CYSTIC THYROID NODULES

Overview

About this study

We want to determine the efficacy and safety, and the rate and type of side effects of this technique; as well as to delineate the clinical pathologic outcomes of the patients with thyroid cysts treated with Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) at Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN, since there is limited information of the use of this technique in the American literature.
