What is Microwave Ablation Treatment
Dr. Aakash Patel specializes in treating thyroid nodules using Microwave Ablation (MWA), anadvanced technique. MWA offers a minimally invasive approach to treating these nodules, showing promise in its effectiveness. Microwave ablation is a technique used to generate heat within structure to destroy cells via a probe placed through the skin. In thyroid, microwave uses that heat energy to burn nodules that are symptomatic in order to reduce their size. It is well established in other parts of the body where it is used to treat cancer, but has been more recently used for the thyroid where it is used to treat the non-cancerous but symptomatic nodules. Dr. Patel’s expertise makes sure patients receive advanced care while navigating these innovative treatments.
