Objective: To evaluate the efficacy RFA for the treatment of cervical recurrence/persistence of PTC in the United States.
Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter study of 8 patients who underwent RFA of 11 cervical metastatic PTC lesions between July 2020 and December 2021.
Context: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has only recently gained popularity in the United States for treatment of thyroid nodules (TNs), with a limited number of patients having undergone the procedure in this country.

Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center study of 53 patients who underwent RFA of 58 TNs between November 2018 and January 2021.
Objective: To present radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of parathyroid adenomas as a safe and effective management strategy for primary hyperparathyroidism in patients who are not eligible for surgery or those who do not want surgery.
