Therapeutic options for toxic thyroid nodules (TTNs) are surgery, radioiodine (RAI), and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI). Surgery is generally considered for TTNs larger than 4 cm. However, some patients may be at high surgical risk. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 nonsurgical modalities for these TTNs.
