Abstract: Objectives: Confidence in long-term treatment results of thermal ablation for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is required in comparison with active surveillance. The objective of this meta-analysis is to report 5-year follow-up results of thermal ablation for PTMC. Methods: Ovid MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched through May 30, 2020, for studies reporting outcomes in patients with PTMC treated with thermal ablation and followed up for at least 5 years. Data were extracted and methodological quality was assessed independently by two radiologists according to the PRISMA guidelines. Results: Three studies, involving 207 patients with 219 PTMCs, met the inclusion criteria through database searches. None of these patients experienced local tumor recurrence, lymph node metastasis, or distant metastasis or underwent delayed surgery during a mean pooled 67.8-month follow-up. Five new tumors appeared in the remaining thyroid gland of four patients, with four of these tumors successfully treated by repeat thermal ablation. The pooled mean major complication rate was 1.2%, with no patient experiencing life-threatening or delayed complications. Conclusions: Thermal ablation is an excellent local tumor control method in patients with low-risk PTMC, with low major complication rates at 5 years. Key Points: • No local tumor recurrence, lymph node metastasis, or distant metastasis was noted by thermal ablation during follow-up of 5 years and none underwent delayed surgery. • The pooled mean major complication rate was 1.2%.
