ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Se expone los resultados que sugieren la viabilidad de la ablación con radiofrecuencia (ARF) como una posible estrategia terapéutica efectiva en el caso de una mujer de 56 años con un nódulo tiroideo benigno en lugar de la cirugía tradicional en un Hospital Público del Perú. El seguimiento a los 6 meses reveló una reducción significativa en el tamaño del nódulo y reducción del 70% del volumen; además de mejorar la calidad de vida, mejora en los síntomas y función tiroidea normal. Este caso destaca la evolución en el tratamiento de nódulos tiroideos benignos, con la ARF como una posible opción mínimamente invasiva y segura, la cual se ofrece una alternativa prometedora a las intervenciones quirúrgicas convencionales para el manejo de nódulos tiroideos, marcando un cambio significativo en la práctica clínica, ya que es el primer hospital del MINSA (Ministerio de Salud) en realizar este tipo de procedimientos y que ofrece múltiples enfoques de tratamiento de nódulos tiroideos: ARF, tiroidectomía endoscópica transoral, tiroidectomía convencional y vigilancia activa.


ABSTRACT The results are presented, suggesting the viability of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an effective therapeutic strategy in the case of a 56-year-old woman with a benign thyroid nodule instead of traditional surgery at a Public Hospital in Peru. The 6-month follow-up revealed a significant reduction in the size of the nodule and a 70% reduction in volume; in addition to improved quality of life, symptom improvement, and normal thyroid function. This case highlights the evolution in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules, with RFA as a possible minimally invasive and safe option, offering a promising alternative to conventional surgical interventions for the management of thyroid nodules, marking a significant change in clinical practice. This is because it is the first hospital of the MINSA (Ministry of Health) to perform such procedures, offering multiple treatment approaches for thyroid nodules: RFA, transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy, conventional thyroidectomy, and active surveillance.

ABSTRACT

The evolution of palliative care in Latin America has been slow compared with other parts of the world, especially developed countries. Current data show inequality in the development of palliative care in the region and those differences are also evident within countries between urban and rural populations. Peru is situated in the low-ranking group in terms of palliative care services in Latin America. The main reasons are a lack of education and funding and misconceptions about palliative care. Limited access to the use of opioids and regulatory barriers are also common features. The development of more palliative care units in Peru, as well as in other Latin American countries, is needed to ensure access to adequate and timely treatment for patients receiving palliative care.
