RESULTS OF USAGE OF ETHANOL DESTRUCTION AND MAGNETIC IRRADIATION IN PATIENTS WITH BENIGN NODULAR THYROID TUMORS

Abstract

The article presents an experience of treatment of 67 patients with benign thyroid tumors with application of ethanol destruction using guidance of ultrasonic imaging. It was stated, that complementary application of therapeutic laser and magnetic actions allowed shortening the terms of reduction of nodular tumors and smoothing out the ethanol effects, decreasing the possibility of specific complications, shortening the terms of general treatment of the patients and minimizing general costs.
