Yet even for small tumors, thyroidectomy with lymph node dissection remains standard of care. Specific to well-differentiated thyroid cancer, surgery has come under scrutiny as a possible overtreatment, in light of stable and favorable survival rates even as guidelines have allowed fewer radical resections and lymph node dissections over time. Moreover, thyroid cancer unfortunately has a known recurrence rate regardless of therapy, and surgical re-intervention for local structural recurrence is eventually limited by scar. Radioactive iodine therapy, another accepted treatment, is minimally invasive but can only treat patients with iodine-avid tumors. For all of these reasons, image-guided thermal ablation has emerged as a valuable complementary tool as a thyroid-sparing, parathyroid-sparing, voice-sparing, repeatable, minimally invasive outpatient focal therapy for both primary and recurrent well-differentiated thyroid cancers. However, the data are still evolving, and this represents a new patient cohort for some interventional radiologists. Therefore, the goal of this review is to discuss the technique and evidence for ablation of patients with thyroid cancer.</p> ","PeriodicalId":48689,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Interventional Radiology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141584878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
