Table 2 Residual tumor and local recurrence rates as a function of lesion size and treatment group, n (%)

	Residual tumor (n = 491 nodules)		Local tumor progression (n = 436 nodules)
Total	MWA (n = 168)	21 (12.5)	MWA (n = 147)	37 (25.2)
	Mbp-RFA (n = 323)	19 (5.9)	Mbp-RFA (n = 289)	33 (11.4)
	P value	0.01	P value	0.002
< 30 mm	MWA (n = 141)	17 (12.1)	MWA (n = 124)	23 (18.5)
	Mbp-RFA (n = 227)	15 (6.6)	Mbp-RFA (n = 201)	17 (7)
	P value	0.071	P value	< 0.002
