Summary

This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can cure small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. Thirty adults who decline surgery or active surveillance will receive ultrasound-guided RFA, which uses heat to destroy the tumor. Researchers will check for cancer clearance with a biopsy at 6-12 months and monitor safety and quality of life over a year.
