Efficacy and safety of US-guided thermal ablation for elderly patients with solitary papillary thyroid carcinoma: a multicenter preliminary study
Key Points
The study findings suggest that US-guided thermal ablation is an effective treatment for solitary papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Elderly patients experienced favorable outcomes, indicating that this method may be a safe option for managing thyroid carcinoma.
The multicenter analysis provides a broader perspective on the efficacy and safety of using thermal ablation in a diverse patient population.
Thermal ablation may become a viable alternative for elderly patients with solitary thyroid tumors, requiring further validation.
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of US-guided thermal ablation (TA) for solitary papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in elderly patients.
