Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for benign thyroid nodules results in earlier and faster nodule shrinkage in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis than in those with normal thyroid function

Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for benign thyroid nodules results in earlier and faster nodule shrinkage in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis than in those with normal thyroid function

ObjectivesGiven that the histological features of the thyroid parenchyma in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) differ from those of the normal thyroid gland, HT may affect the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for benign thyroid nodules (BTNs). The present stud...
