Comparing the therapeutic efficacy of radiofrequency vs. Microwave ablation for non-functioning benign thyroid nodules
RFA and MWA are both safe and effective for treating BTNs. In the overall population, VRRs were similar between RFA and MWA, with MWA requiring shorter procedure times. After matching for key predictors of therapeutic response, MWA demonstrated superior efficacy at 12-months.
