BackgroundRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) seems to achieve a significantly larger nodule volume reduction rate (VRR) than laser ablation (LA) in benign non-functioning thyroid nodules (BNTNs). We compared the efficacy and safety of both thermal ablation treatments at the 12-month follow-up in patients with solid or predominantly solid BNTN.MethodsThis 12-month, single-use, randomized open-label parallel trial c...
