Comparison of two ablation methods in benign thyroid nodules: Radiofrequency ablation and non-cooled microwave ablation

The non-cooled MWA system demonstrated superior efficacy compared to RFA, with similar procedural times and complication rates. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

The non-cooled MWA system demonstrated superior efficacy compared to RFA, with similar procedural times and complication rates. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm these findings.
