Initial Ablation Ratio Predicts Volume Reduction and Retreatment After 5 Years From Radiofrequency Ablation of Benign Thyroid Nodules

BackgroundRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained ground as an effective and well-tolerated technique to treat benign thyroid nodules. Most of the available studies have described the short-term outcomes of RFA, whereas there is a limited number of studies evaluating long-term issues, such as regro...
