主　　题：Radiofrequency Ablation Thyroid Nodules Minimally invasive 

摘      要：Background:Thermal ablation of thyroid nodules is new modality for the management of the benign and malign *** minimally invasive treatment is performed as an outpatient,local anesthetic,single professional procedure that can treat neoplastic lesions without removing normal thyroid tissue and thus avoiding ***:A comprehensive review of the most relevant literature regarding the thermal ablation of benign and malign nodules was performed in order to currently define its role on the management of the nodular thyroid *** data was divided into benign and malign ***:The benign nodules can be effectively treated by radiofrequency ablation(RFA)but some limitation exists regarding the nodule’s size but not nodules *** RFA of primary malign tumors of the thyroid recently demonstrated positive and safe long-term follow-up and encouraged additional investigation and possibly a definitive role in the management of these low risk ***:RFA is a safe,cost-effective minimally invasive procedure that avoids thyroid tissue removal while destroying neoplastic one thus,preventing hypothyroidism.
