Background: Radiofrequency ablation(RFA) has been advocated as an alternative to radioiodine and/or surgery for the treatment of autonomously functioning benign thyroid nodule (AFTN). However, only a few studies have investigated the efficacy of RFA on AFTN. Furthermore, these studies are characterized by several biases about patient selection, number of RFA treatments, short clinical and radiographic follow-up. A recent prospective 12-month study has demonstrated that one sin...
