Background. The aim of this observational study was to investigate for which nodules a better response to radiofrequency thermoablation (RFA) for nonfunctioning benign thyroid nodules is likely. Methods. Aesthetic score, compressive score, and volume of 32 benign nodules from 32 patients were registered during follow-up at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results. A volume reduction rate (VRR) of 72.56% at 12 months after the procedure ( P = .009) was registered. A significant ( P < .001) improvement in the compressive and aesthetic scores was observed. Nodules with a baseline volume <20 mL had VRRs at 3 and 6 months that were significantly greater than those with volume >20 mL ( P = .037). Conclusions. RFA was shown to be a safe and effective procedure for the management of benign thyroid nodules and that there is a correlation between the initial size of the nodule and the response to treatment.
