Thoracoscopic surgery is relatively thorough, while radiofrequency ablation is a palliative treatment, and there is no saying which one is better, you need to choose according to your own situation.
Thoracoscopy is the mainstay of treatment for lung nodules. Thoracoscopy is able to remove the lung nodule more completely, and the treatment is more thorough, causing less damage in general, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
Radiofrequency ablation, on the other hand, is mainly used for people with lung nodules who cannot tolerate thoracoscopic surgery, such as the elderly and people with serious underlying lung diseases. Radiofrequency ablation can be used for palliative treatment to locally control the progression of lung nodules, but may not be able to completely cure the disease.
Overall, thoracoscopic surgery is relatively more thorough, but radiofrequency ablation may be an option for some people who cannot tolerate it. It is recommended that you seek medical attention in a timely manner, and choose a treatment based on your condition as well as your doctor’s recommendations.
