A clinical study on microwave ablation of T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma locating in dangerous region.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficiency of the microwave ablation (MWA) of T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) locating in dangerous region. This is a clinical retrospective study, and the data of patients who underwent thermal ablation for T1N0M0 PTC from June 2016 to March 2021 were reviewed. After ablation, the rates of technical success, as well as the changes in tumor size and volume, tumor disappearance, disease progression, and complications, were assessed. According to the tumor size, the patients were divided into T1a and T1b subgroups. There was a total of 94 cases enrolled in the present study. The mean age was 43.06 ± 11.51 years (22-65 years). The median follow-up time was 33 months (25-75% IQR 24-44; 12-85months). The technical success rate was 100%. Due to ex
