The Clinical Outcomes of Ultrasound-guided Thermal Ablation for the Treatment of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Multicenter Study
To evaluate long-term outcomes of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma
Inclusion: patients age between 18 and 80 year old, both sex; papillary thyroid carcinoma confirmed by core-needle biopsy or fine-needle aspiration; the largest diameter ≤2.0 cm; no clinical or imaging evidences of extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis on ultrasound, neck and chest CT; follow-up period ≥12 months.
Exclusion: patients with convincing evidence of aggressive papillary thyroid carcinoma or other type of thyroid cancer by biopsy; history of neck radiation; coagulation disorder, serious heart, respiratory, liver, or renal failure; dysfunction of the vocal cord on the opposite side.
