Dr. Niyaz Beysenuly Malaev, Interventional Oncoradiologist at the National Scientific Medical Center, presented his clinical experience at the 2nd Annual Meeting of the Pan Arab Society for Interventional Endocrinology and Diabetes Technology, held in Egypt.This prestigious international event brought together leading specialists in the fields of oncology and endocrinology, focusing on modern minimally invasive treatment approaches.
Presentation Topic: "How to do safe &Efective ablation» . The talk addressed one of the key challenges in modern medicine: how to treat without causing harm, especially when preserving organ structure and function is critical.
Drawing from the practices implemented at the National Scientific Medical Center,Dr. Malaev highlighted the use of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a gentle, non-surgical method to treat benign thyroid nodules.
Why It Matters: Benign thyroid nodules are a common condition. While often asymptomatic, they can lead to:
- Cosmetic issues in the neck
- A sensation of pressure or discomfort
- Difficulty swallowing
- Cough or pain
Today, there is an effective alternative — Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA):
- Minimally invasive, maximally effective
- No incisions, no general anesthesia
- Local anesthesia is used
- Quick recovery — patients return to daily life within a short time
- Virtually no rehabilitation period required
Prior to RFA, ultrasound examination and fine-needle aspiration biopsy** are performed to rule out malignancy or inflammation.
Proven Results: This technique has demonstrated high clinical effectiveness, both in cosmetically sensitive cases and in patients experiencing compressive symptoms. RFA is also used in cases of recurrent thyroid cancer. International Recognition: Dr. Malaev’s presentation made a significant contribution to the advancement of organ-preserving, minimally invasive therapies
in the field of endocrine oncology and sparked great interest among international colleagues.
