Abstract

The prevalence of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) increases rapidly all around the world, but the management of PTMC hasn't reached a consensus. Recently, ultrasound-guided (US-guided) ablation therapy was introduced as a feasible treatment for low-risk PTMC. The clinical application of US-guided ablation therapy needs doctors' effort to investigate the efficacy and the safety of US-guided ablation in treating PTMC carefully. Although the present evidence showed some limitations, such as short-term study time spans and no randomized control design, in our perspective, US-guided thermal ablation therapy has good short-term efficacy and safety and is a promising PTMC's treatment in future clinical practice.

Keywords: papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, ultrasound-guided ablation, thermal ablation, laser ablation, radio-frequency ablation, microwave ablation
