ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in a large population.Materials and MethodsCases of 152 biopsy-proven PTMCs from 133 patients who had undergone RFA for PTMC between May 2008 and January 2017 were included in this study. All patients were either of high surgical risk or refused to undergo surgery. They were followed up for at least 6 months after initial RFA. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography were performed to evaluate the PTMC and the presence of neck metastasis before treatment. RFA was conducted using an internally cooled thyroid-dedicated electrode system. Follow-up US was performed at 1 week, and 2, 6, and 12 months, after the initial RFA, and then at every 6–12 months. We evaluated serial changes of ablated tumors, newly developed cancers, lymph node (LN) or distant metastasis and complications.ResultsComplete disappearance was found in 91.4% (139/152) of ablated tumors. Among the 13 tumors in patients who did not show complete disappearance, no tumor displayed any regrowth of the residual ablated lesion during the follow-up period. The mean follow-up period was 39 months. During the follow-up period, there were no local recurrence, no LN or distant metastasis, and no newly developed thyroid cancers. No patients were referred to surgery. The overall complication rate was 3% (4/133) of patients, including one voice change. There were no life-threatening complications or procedure-related deaths.ConclusionOur results suggest that RFA is an effective and safe option for treating low-risk PTMC patients who are of high surgical risk or refuse surgery.

“…Radiologic response at the treated site was characterized utilizing modified RECIST (mRECIST) criteria, when feasible, with documentation of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD) 9 . mRECIST was utilized given existing reports demonstrating optimal interpretation of response, following embolization or ablation in adult patients, utilizing this approach 9–13 . When imaging studies were obtained but mRECIST criteria could not be applied or when imaging studies were not obtained, patient response was characterized as “unknown” and outcomes were described using functional endpoints alone.…”

Background Pediatric interventional oncology (PIO) is a growing field intended to provide additional or alternative treatment options for pediatric patients with benign or malignant tumors. Large series of patients treated uniformly and subjected to rigorous endpoints for efficacy are not available. Methods We designed a collaborative initiative to capture data from pediatric patients with benign and malignant tumors who underwent a therapeutic interventional radiology procedure. Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) was utilized as a measure of radiologic response and data were collected regarding improvement in pain and functional endpoints. Cumulative incidence of progressive disease was calculated using both the treated site and the patient as the analytic unit. Findings Forty patients, 16 with malignant tumors and 24 with benign tumors, underwent a total of 88 procedures. Cryo‐ and radiofrequency ablation were the most frequently utilized techniques for both cohorts of patients. A complete or partial response, or prolonged disease stability, were achieved in approximately 40% of patients with malignant tumors and 60% of patients with benign tumors. No patients had progressive disease as their best response. Resolution of pain and improved mobility with return‐to‐baseline activity were demonstrated across patients from both cohorts. Only minor complications were experienced. Interpretation Interventional radiology‐guided interventions can serve as an alternative or complementary approach to the treatment of benign and malignant tumors in pediatric patients. Prospective, multi‐institutional trials are required to adequately study utility, treatment endpoints, and durability of response.

ObjectiveThis study assessed temporal relationships of serum uric acid (SUA) with blood glucose and determine the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and risk of type 2 diabetes.MethodsParticipants aged ≥ 45 years were participated in 2011 and followed up until 2015. Cox proportional hazards regression with a robust variance estimator was performed to explore the association of SUA with the risk of diabetes, and crosslagged path analysis was introduced to examine the temporal relationships between SUA and blood glucose. A mediation analysis was finally used to identify the mediating effect of BMI and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and the future risk of diabetes.ResultsA total of 9,020 participants were included with an average age of 58.59 years at baseline in 2011, and 53.6% of them were women. Linear dose–response relationship was identified by restricted spline cubic analysis between baseline SUA and follow-up blood glucose (the non-linear trend for fasting plasma glucose (FPG): β2 = −0.71, p = 0.52; for HbA1c: β2 = 0.05, p = 0.07; for risk of diabetes: β2 = 0.12, p = 0.39). Additionally, compared with the lowest quartiles of SUA, the adjusted risk ratios of diabetes were 1.00 (95% CI: 0.82–1.23), 1.08 (95% CI: 0.89–1.31), and 1.37 (95% CI: 1.11–1.96) for quartile 2–4 (p-trend < 0.01), respectively. Further additional adjustments for BMI or dyslipidemia, these ratios were not statistically significant. In addition, a unidirectional relationship from baseline SUA to follow-up FPG (ρ1 = 0.24, p = 0.03) was further confirmed using crosslagged path analysis. After stratifying by genders, the above results were only significant in the women subgroup, and we thus conducted a mediation analysis in women and found that the BMI and dyslipidemia partially mediated the effect of SUA on diabetes with a 23.05 and 18.82% mediating effect, respectively.ConclusionsThese findings provide strong evidence that hyperuricemia preceded diabetes, and the effect of baseline SUA on follow-up type 2 diabetes was more pronounced among middle-aged and elderly Chinese women, especially in postmenopausal women, and this effect is partly mediated by BMI and dyslipidemia at baseline.

mRECIST criteria to assess recurrent thyroid carcinoma treatment response after radiofrequency ablation: a prospective study

Abstract: RFA is a safe procedure to treat the viable tumour tissue and to reduce the RTC volume; as to the criteria to assess treatment response, mRECIST appears to be more accurate.
