Background The use of ultrasound‐guided ablation procedures to treat both benign and
malignant thyroid conditions is gaining increasing interest. This document has been …

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 …

Ultrasound often represents the first diagnostic step for thyroid nodule evaluation in clinical
practice, but baseline US alone is not always effective enough to achieve thyroid nodule …

Context Ultrasound (US)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been considered as an
alternative to surgery or active surveillance for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) …

Objective: To report more than 5-year outcomes of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation (TA)
for patients with solitary low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in a large …

Objectives Minimal extrathyroid extension (mETE) was removed from the TNM staging
system. This study was designed prospectively to compare the safety and efficacy of …

Thermal and chemical ablation are minimally invasive procedures that avoid removal of the
thyroid gland and target symptomatic nodules directly. Internationally, Radiofrequency …

Background: Minimally invasive treatment of thyroid tumors has become increasingly
common, but has mainly focused on benign thyroid tumors, whereas thermal ablation of …

Simple Summary Ultrasound (US)-guided minimally-invasive techniques, such as
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have emerged as an alternative treatment to surgery for …
