Long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation for unifocal low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma: a large cohort study of 414 patients

Lin Yan et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in a large population. The results showed that RFA was effective in treating PTMC with significant reduction in tumor volume, low incidence of complications, and no life-threatening events during the follow-up period.

Summary: Based on data from the Netherlands between 2005 and 2015, the study found that restrictive diagnostic workup of thyroid nodules leads to limited candidates for active surveillance (AS) and a higher incidence of lymph node metastases.

Radiofrequency ablation versus total thyroidectomy in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma located in the isthmus: a retrospective cohort study

Qing Song et al.

Summary: In this retrospective study, it was found that RFA had similar outcomes to TT in patients with PTMC in the isthmus. RFA group had lower surgical time, blood loss, hospital stays, and treatment costs compared to the TT group. Although minor pain at the operation site was observed in all RFA patients, no distant metastasis was detected except for one case of recurrence after 6 months.

Hongying He et al.

Summary: The study indicates that radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective treatment option for low-risk PTMC in patients aged 55 years or older, especially for those at high risk of general anesthesia and postoperative complications or those who refuse surgery.
