Save Your Thyroid with Jennifer Holkem
Save Your Thyroid with Jennifer Holkem
Thyroid nodules impact 70 percent of adults in their lifetime. The standard of care is surgical removal of half or all of the gland. But in recent years, nonsurgical treatment options have become available. Hi, my name is Jennifer Holkem and I advocate for fellow patients suffering with this very common condition. I sit down with patients and physicians and discuss life with thyroid nodules, the journey from diagnosis to treatment, and how to save your thyroid through nonsurgical advances in medicine.

Thyroid RFA at STANFORD: Dr. Julia Noel

Thyroid RFA at STANFORD: Dr. Julia Noel

This video was originally published on YouTube on 10/8/21.

Today's guest is not only saving thyroids from surgery, but she's also training the physicians of tomorrow. Dr. Julia Noel is an assistant professor of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery at Stanford Medicine. Together, with her colleague Dr. Lisa Orloff, they brought thyroid RFA to this prestigious institution, and they've been saving thyroids for well over a year now. Today, we'll discuss some of those wins, as well as dispel some common myths about radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodules.
