Brief Summary

To compare the clinical outcomes of Thermal ablation with those of thyroid lobectomy in patients with subcapsular papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

Detailed Description

The global incidence of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) has increased rapidly in recent decades because of improved ultrasound (US) detection and fine needle aspiration biopsy and has primaril...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • a unifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration or core-needle biopsy;
  • tumor with a maximum diameter of ≤ 10 mm detected on ultrasound;
  • tumor located within ≤ 2mm from the thyroid capsule (with or without tumor-associated capsular bulging or capsular discontinuity);
  • absence of clinical or imaging evidence of gross ETE (involvement of strap muscles, obtuse angles between the tumor and trachea/esophagus, protrusion into the tracheoesophageal groove, and invasion into other neck structures);
  • no clinical or imaging evidence suggesting lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis

Exclusion

  • aggressive subtypes of PTC (aggressive subtypes of PTC includes the tall cell, columnar cell, solid, and hobnail variants);
  • multifocal PTMC;
  • history of neck surgery or TA;
  • a follow-up period of \< 24 months;
  • incomplete follow-up data, or poor-quality pre-treatment ultrasound images
