Long-term efficacy of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency and microwave ablation for benign thyroid nodules and a nomogram to predict the regrowth
RFA and MWA demonstrated durable long-term efficacy and favorable safety profiles in the treatment of BTNs, with approximately 6% of nodules developing regrowth during follow-up. A nanogram is established to predict the regrowth risk.
