Does it kill your thyroid or it still functions

[@thyroidradiofrequencyablation-]

Thank you for your quesitons. One of the benefits of STARmed thyroid RFA is it target treats the nodules and preserves the surrounding healthy thyroid gland tissues, saves the normal thyroid function.

I have a papillary thyroid carcinoma.. is that alright to undergo with RFA procedures? I am from Philippines.

[@thyroidradiofrequencyablation-]

Hello Glarcays, thank you for your comment. Cancer is currently not an indication for Thyroid RFA in the USA. But things might be different in Philipines. You can find out more info from physicians in your country.
