Predicting the Size of Benign Thyroid Nodules and Analysis of Associated Factors That Affect Nodule Size.

8 An increasing trend in nodule size was observed in naturally progressing/regressing benign thyroid nodules. 2 Although most of these nodules are only monitored, percutaneous ethanol injection or radiofrequency ablation is performed for continually growing nodules that measure >2 cm for cosmetic reasons and to ensure proper functioning. 12 In our study, we confirmed the factors that affect the nodule size by analyzing the thyroid nodules that increased in size during the follow-up period.
