The past 5–10 years have brought in a new era in the care of patients with thyroid cancer,
with the introduction of transformative diagnostic and management options. Several …

Context Approximately 60% of adults harbor 1 or more thyroid nodules. The possibility of
cancer is the overriding concern, but only about 5% prove to be malignant. The widespread …

The growing detection of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) is paralleled by an
increase in surgical procedures. Due to the frequent indolent nature, cost, and risk of …

Importance Papillary microcarcinomas of the thyroid (mPTCs) account for an increasing
proportion of thyroid cancers in past decades. The use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has …

Background: Thermal ablation (TA) has been applied in patients with low-risk papillary
thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) who refuse surgery or active surveillance (AS). Recently, TA …

Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate
treatment of secondary (SHPT) and tertiary (THPT) renal hyperparathyroidism. Background …

Background Microwave ablation (MWA) has achieved favorable results in the treatment of
papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) confined in glandular parenchyma. However …

Background Microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have recently
attracted interest as minimally invasive treatment modalities for papillary thyroid carcinoma …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in a …

Purpose In the thyroid gland, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is being applied to both benign
nodules and cancers internationally, while interest is also growing in the West. Benign …
