Radiofrequency ablation for treatment of thyroid follicular neoplasm with low SUV in PET/CT study

CONCLUSIONS: By using PET/CT, we can select patients with low SUV follicular neoplasm. RFA offers a safe and feasible alternative treatment option for patients unsuitable or unwilling to undergo surgery.KEY POINTSBy using positron emission tomography-computed tomography, we can distinguish low SUV follicular neoplasm for radiofrequency ablation.For low SUV follicular neoplasm, RF ablation offers a safe and effective alternative treatment option for patients unsuitable or unwilling to undergo surgery.PMID:34154505 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2021.1912414
