Introducing a compelling study that contrasts two treatment approaches: sclerosing treatment (Control Group) and Radiofrequency ablation treatment (Observation Group) for Thyroid Cystic-Solid benign nodules. The long-term outcomes reveal that Radiofrequency ablation treatment demonstrates superior Volume Reduction Ratio (VRR). This research explores the potential advantages of minimally invasive treatments for Thyroid nodules.

• Method: STARmed 18-07s07F (0.7cm) and 18-07s-10F (1.0cm)
•Keypoint:
- The nodule volume in the observation group was greater than that in the control group, while it was smaller at 12 months.
- Patients in the observation group underwent extensive radiofrequency ablation on a layer-by-layer basis (STARmed, models: 18–07s07F (0.7 cm) and 18–07s10F (1.0 cm), South Korea)
