The therapeutic application of heat is very effective in cancer treatment. Both hyperthermia,
ie, heating to 39–45° C to induce sensitization to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and …

Objective Although thermal ablation is effective in treating low-risk papillary thyroid
microcarcinomas (PTMCs), comparison of treatment outcomes between thermal ablation …

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 …

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 …

Background: Despite reports describing favorable short-term results for thermal ablation of
thyroid cancer, there remains a need to evaluate long-term results because of its indolent …

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most common endocrine cancer. Particularly
the incidence of small clinically indolent tumors has been increasing significantly during the …

Objectives Confidence in long-term treatment results of thermal ablation for papillary thyroid
microcarcinoma (PTMC) is required in comparison with active surveillance. The objective of …

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

Background: Some researchers have achieved favorable efficacy in the treatment of primary
papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) using microwave ablation (MWA). However, as …

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 …
