Efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation therapy for benign and malignant thyroid nodules of different sizes based on real-world evidence
Abstract
Background: Benign and malignant thyroid nodules (BMTDs) often show lymph-node metastasis in the neck and impose great physical and psychological burdens.Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment BMTD are essential.The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation therapy for BMTDs of different sizes.Materials and Methods: The study examined 180 patients with solitary BMTD from Shijiazhuang People's Hospital between June 2022 and June 2024.Patients with BMTD diameter larger than 1 cm were assigned to group A (60 patients), and those with diameters of 0.5-1 cm were assigned to group B (60 patients).Group C comprised those with BMTD diameters smaller than
