As far as I know the people doing RFA in the US are 1/3 endocrinologists, 1/3 surgeons and 1/3 IR. It is easy to learn - anyone who has been doing thyroid procedures (US and FNA) can learn - no secret recipes.

Come to our NASOIE meeting on 2/28/26 in Miami - will teach you.

We already give our patients the option for minimally invasive treatment… hopefully this will start become more widespread.

And now - the surgical year in review covers my favorite thing to do for #thyroidnodules - #thermalablation!

Still limited evidence for #ThyroidAblation for #ThyroidCancer 🦋

Reviewed this study for Clinical Thyroidology - older women have a higher risk of being over-treated (i.e. iatrogenic #hyperthyroidism) 🦋

Not a certified #bonehead, but had to admire the commitment to branding: the #osteoporosis slide citing “Bone et al., JCEM” at the TXEA/TESS 2025 meeting really delivered. 💀🦴 #EndocrineHumor #EndocrineAlliance #EndoSky

Our latest clinical practice guideline, Primary Aldosteronism (bit.ly/44MbrSv), is now available. The new guideline recommends more widespread screening for a common hormonal cause of high blood pressure known as primary aldosteronism. Read in @endocrinenews.bsky.social: bit.ly/4kFadhv #ENDO2025

My favorite talk of #Endo2025 is @liisagalea.bsky.social but also the entire sex differences session full of things we know but for some reason have ignored: females are different than males. Not more complex. Not more dynamic. Different. It’s not sexist to use funds to study this; it’s necessary.

Decided to branch out from #thyroid disease and attend some #adrenal sessions…

Interesting - you can consider treating primary bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (#PBMAH) with a unilateral #adrenalectomy!

Increased vascularity seen on #thyroid ultrasonography in the recovery phase (TSH: 17) of subacute #thyroiditis.

In contrast to the acute phase, where the patient is #hyperthyroid, with decreased or absent vascularity.
