Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation versus surgery for solitary T1bN0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma: a prospective multicenter study
Microwave ablation (MWA) has emerged as a minimally invasive technology for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), but it has not been widely applied to treat T1bN0M0 PTC with high-level evidence. This study...

Are all local tumour progressions of HCC related to thermal ablation? A study of the causes and classification of local tumour progression
Local tumour progression (LTP) is believed to be a negative consequence of imperfect thermal ablation, but we wondered if all LTP is truly due to imperfect ablation.
