Rapid Adoption of Thyroid Ablation: A Call for Caution featuring Dr. Dhingra

[@AnneMarieBibby1966]

New subscriber I watched this video last night before my appointment at Dr. Dhingra's office for my second biopsy. My first was at the hospital, and my results were non diagnostic, so I had to repeat. I found Dr. Dhingra on KZbin, and to my surprise, his office was a few towns away! My experience with Dr. Dhingra was amazing he is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and I honestly couldn't believe the difference in who does your biopsy. It was completely painless, and honestly, numbing your gums for dental work hurts far more. LOL I highly recommend Dr. Dhingra and his expertise. It is absolutely worth the time to go see him. I will be checking out more of your videos. Thank you for bringing knowledgeable information to everyone. 😊

what do you mean by "thyroid ablation"? for European nuclear physicians, endocrinologists and surgeons means treating a patient with adequate 131I activity, about a month after surgery (the most radical you can get). This treatment has been routinely performed in Europe since the early 1970s. IT IS NOT AN INNOVATIVE METHOD! In experienced hands it is without risk or complications and ensures healing or stabilization at least, if the disease is already advanced at diagnosis. I am happy to understand that other parts of the world are also coming to our same treatments. Best wishes

“Radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of thyroid nodules is a procedure performed by a team of endocrinologists. RFA uses radio waves to create heat that reduces the size of thyroid nodules. It is a less invasive alternative to surgery or radioactive iodine therapy (RAI). During an alcohol ablation for thyroid cancer, your doctor will use imaging-guidance to inject a concentrated ethanol alcohol solution into the neck. The alcohol solution will cut off the blood supply to any malignant cells in the neck lymph nodes, causing them to die.”
