| Popis: | Purpose Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation (including microwave ablation [MWA] and radiofrequency ablation [RFA]) has emerged as a remarkable technology for the treatment of benign and malignant diseases. The objective of this multicenter study was to assess the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation in a large cohort of patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Materials and methods Retrospective study of 725 patients who underwent MWA/RFA at 11 centers between March 2015 and March 2020. The mean age of patients was 46 ± 11 years (range, 22–81); the mean follow-up time was 21 ± 13 months (range, 6–60). Changes in size of tumor, the rates of tumor disappearance, disease progression, and complications were assessed. Results From 6 months post-ablation, the size of tumors was significantly reduced compared with those recorded pre-ablation (p |
