The detection rate of papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid (PTMC) increases continuously. For patients

surgical resection is the preferred treatment. Following the open neck surgery

endoscopic surgery and active surveillance

ultrasound-guided interventional technique has been gradually applied in the treatment of PTMC and its metastatic lymph nodes for certain patients

and good therapeutic effects have been achieved due to its advantages of minimally invasive

real-time dynamic and non-radiation injury. However

the limitations of interventional techniques also make the treatment of PTMC. This paper reviewed the application status and research progress in treatment of thermal ablation

chemical ablation

radioactive iodine implantation used in PTMC.
