Solid benign thyroid nodules (>10 ml): a retrospective study on the efficacy and safety of sonographically guided ethanol ablation combined with radiofrequency ablation

Background Image-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of large solid benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) usually require a high amount of energy. Injection of ethanol into a benign thyroid nodule before RFA can lower the procedural time and patient discomfort. Objective To investigate the efficacy and saf...
