This research aims to compare the clinical outcomes of thermal ablation in subcapsular and intraparenchymal papillary thyroid microcarcinoma cases.
Conducted a retrospective multicenter analysis
Included patients with subcapsular and intraparenchymal PTMC
Evaluated 4-year clinical outcomes
Thermal ablation achieved comparable 4-year outcomes for both subcapsular and intraparenchymal PTMC
No significant differences observed in clinical outcomes between the two groups
Abstract
For eligible subcapsular PTMC patients, TA achieves 4-year clinical outcomes comparable to those of intraparenchymal PTMC cases, warranting further prospective investigations.
