Abstract
Thermal ablation is widely accepted as an effective and safe method for treating benign thyroid nodules. Many studies reporting short-term results have consistently demonstrated the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation. However, as the clinical application of thermal ablation grows and follow-up periods extend, long-term clinical outcomes of thermal ablation have revealed several issues, including regrowth and diagnosis of malignancy in ablated lesions. In this systematic review, we analyze the long-term clinical outcomes of thyroid thermal ablation, focusing on regrowth, delayed surgery, and the potential for malignancy after thermal ablation and propose solutions to address these unresolved issues and enhance the management of benign thyroid nodules through thermal ablation.
期刊介绍：
Felice Perussia founded La radiologia medica in 1914. It is a peer-reviewed journal and serves as the official journal of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). The primary purpose of the journal is to disseminate information related to Radiology, especially advancements in diagnostic imaging and related disciplines. La radiologia medica welcomes original research on both fundamental and clinical aspects of modern radiology, with a particular focus on diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques. It also covers topics such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiobiology, health physics, and artificial intelligence in the context of clinical implications. The journal includes various types of contributions such as original articles, review articles, editorials, short reports, and letters to the editor. With an esteemed Editorial Board and a selection of insightful reports, the journal is an indispensable resource for radiologists and professionals in related fields. Ultimately, La radiologia medica aims to serve as a platform for international collaboration and knowledge sharing within the radiological community.
