Brief Title: Treatment of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma With Radiofrequency Ablation
Official Title: Pilot Study for the Treatment of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma With Radiofrequency Ablation
Study ID: NCT04129411
Brief Summary: Investigators intend to evaluate the efficiency of Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy to treat papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Detailed Description: Investigators plan to identify patients with small papillary thyroid carcinoma and subject such patients to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy. Following RFA procedure patients will be monitored to study the changes in primary tumor volume, development of lymph node involvement, development of distant metastasis and changes in serum thyroid hormone levels. Investigators will also assess the stability of these changes (need for repeat therapy) and the safety of the RFA procedure.
