Abstract: In recent years the application of thermal ablation (TA) in the treatment of benign and malignant thyroid tumors has drawn wide attention. Many studies have shown that compared with traditional surgery, TA is a minimally invasive and cosmetic surgery. In particular, the safety and effectiveness of TA in the treatment of benign thyroid tumors have been generally proven, but are still controversial in the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. This article reviewed related literature, and focused on the principles of different thermal ablation techniques, indications and contraindications for the treatment of benign and malignant thyroid tumors, the safety and effectiveness of TA, and the advantages and disadvantages of TA compared with traditional surgery.

Key words: Thermal ablation, Benign thyroid tumor, Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
