Radiofrequency treatment for non-cancer thyroid lumps in LatinX adults
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at radiofrequency ablation, a heat-based procedure, to shrink a benign (non-cancer) thyroid nodule in adults who identify as LatinX. It may help reduce symptoms from the lump while tracking safety and results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older and able to give informed consent
- Self-identify as LatinX
- Have a benign, symptomatic thyroid nodule on ultrasound
- Your ultrasound must show a well-defined nodule with at least 2 mm of normal thyroid tissue around it
- Be able to follow all study visits and stay in the study for its full duration

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat small, low-risk thyroid cancer. If you have a small nodule (2 cm or less) that is confirmed as cancer or suspicious for cancer (Bethesda 5/6), this treatment may be an option instead of surgery.
This trial tests a new device that uses nanosecond electrical pulses to treat benign thyroid nodules. It may be an option if you have a benign nodule causing symptoms like discomfort or anxiety, and you're looking for a non-surgical treatment.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to treat thyroid nodules that are not cancerous but have uncertain results from a biopsy. It may be an option for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery.
This study looks at how thyroid nodules affect your daily life and feelings after treatment. It compares quality of life in people who had microwave ablation versus those who had thyroid surgery.
This trial studies radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that shrinks a thyroid nodule, for thyroid nodules that are unclear on biopsy but have a reassuring “molecular” test. If you have a Bethesda III nodule that tests benign on specific genetic tests, you may be a good candidate to see if this approach helps safely.
This trial studies a treatment option for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in adults who either do not want surgery or cannot safely have surgery. It may help people find a non-surgical approach for a very small thyroid cancer.
