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

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 …

Standard therapeutic approaches for benign thyroid lesions that warrant intervention are
surgery for cold and either surgery or radioiodine for autonomously functioning thyroid …

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 …

Background Image-guided thermal ablations are commonly used in the treatment of thyroid
nodules. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation are the most commonly used …

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: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation (LA) are effective treatments
for benign thyroid nodules. Due to their relatively recent introduction into clinical practice …

Ultrasound (US) is the first imaging modality for thyroid parenchyma evaluation. In the last
decades, the role of ultrasound has been improved with the introduction of new US software …

Background: No direct prospective studies comparing laser ablation (LA) and
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for debulking benign non-functioning thyroid nodules …

Context Thermal ablative techniques of the thyroid have recently gained clinical traction as a
therapeutic alternative that provides symptomatic relief and confers potential advantages …
