Major advancements in thyroid surgery have reduced what was once a complex, invasive process with a lengthy recovery cycle into a same-day procedure that patients recover from within just a few days.
Cambridge thyroid RFA (radiofrequency ablation) is a non-surgical, safe, and effective procedure that precisely shrinks thyroid nodules, alleviating symptoms without the need for surgery.
This process gradually shrinks painful, swollen nodules and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, typically reducing nodules by 50-90% after 6-12 months while preserving thyroid function.

How does Cambridge thyroid RFA work?
Target
The nodule is located precisely using ultrasound imaging. The region is numbed to reduce pain.
Treat
A thin needle inserted through the skin delivers electrical energy to heat and break down the nodule from within.
Shrink
A successfully treated nodule shrinks gradually, relieving symptoms, saving thyroid function, improving quality of life.
Impact to Your Patients
Faster Recovery
RFA patients usually go home the same day and resume normal activities within a day or two.
Less Scarring
RFA is performed through a thin needle, avoiding a visible surgical incision scar.
Safe and Effective
Robust clinical evidence shows that the thyroid RFA has a high rate of success and low risk of complications for suitable patients.
Preserve Thyroid Function
RFA targets the nodule precisely, reducing damage to healthy tissue that can lead to lifelong hormone replacement therapy.
