82% Nodule Reduction Without Surgery: Emily’s nsPFA Success Story

Can you shrink a thyroid nodule by 82% while keeping your thyroid intact? In today’s episode, I am joined by Emily Saska, a patient who refused to accept a total thyroidectomy as her only option.

Instead, she chose a "needle off the record" moment and sought out nsPFA (nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation).Join us as Emily walks us through her experience with this cutting-edge, non-thermal technology performed by Dr. Emad Kandil.
