The Treatment of Thyroid Cancer With Radiofrequency Ablation
Open accessAbstract
In the past decade, there has seen been a shift from treating all thyroid cancer surgically, to favoring less aggressive approaches for low-risk thyroid cancer. Surgery was historically the treatment of choice for most thyroid cancer. Active surveillance has emerged as an alternative for low-risk thyroid cancer in select patients. This approach has been accepted worldwide, and sound evidence supports its oncological safety in carefully selected patients. However, not all patients want to undergo lifelong monitoring, and some patients may wish to treat their cancer in a minimally invasive manner. Thermal ablation has developed as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery and active surveillance for well selected patients with thyroid malignancy. Herein, we review the role of thermally ablative techniques, specifically radiofrequency ablation, for the treatment of small primary thyroid cancers, recurrent thyroid cancer, and lymph node metastases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
