| Popis: | AbstractPurpose This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided RFA and MWA in the treatment of unifocal PTMC.Methods This retrospective study included 512 patients with 512 unifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) who underwent RFA (n = 346) and MWA (n = 166) between January 2021 and December 2021. The volumes of the ablation areas were measured during follow-up, and the volume reduction rates were evaluated. The ablation duration, volume of hydrodissection, and ablation-related complications were also compared between the groups.Results All lesions received complete ablation and no local or distant recurrences were observed in the two groups. A larger volume of isolation liquid was used for RFA than for MWA (p = 0.000). Hoarseness occurred in seven patients who underwent RFA (p = 0.102). At the 1-week follow-up, the mean volume of the areas ablated by RFA was smaller than that of the areas ablated by MWA (p = 0.049). During follow-ups at months 3, 9, 12, 15, and 18, the mean volumes of the ablated areas were larger in the RFA group than in the MWA group (all, p |
