A long-term retrospective study of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation of thyroid benign solid nodules

Purpose To explore the clinical outcomes and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for treating thyroid benign solid nodules during a three-year follow-up. Methods A total of 53 patients with thyroid benign solid nodules with the largest diameter exceeding 2 cm were treated with US-gu...
