This pre-procedure evaluation guideline outlines the essential steps and considerations for assessing patients with benign thyroid nodules and thyroid malignancies before undergoing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment. It covers aspects such as patient history, clinical examination, biochemical analysis, imaging studies, and cytopathologic assessment to ensure optimal patient selection and treatment planning while minimizing complications.
