Solid benign thyroid nodules ( > 10 ml): a retrospective study on the efficacy and safety of sonographically guided ethanol ablation combined with radiofrequency ablation.
Conclusions: EA combined with RFA shortened the ablation time of RFA, reduced the total energy and power required and improved patient satisfaction. This modified RFA approach may be considered a low-risk and high-efficacy alternative to treat solid BTNs greater than 10 ml in size.
