Context: Ultrasound (US)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been considered as an alternative to surgery or active surveillance for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). However, little is known about the long-term outcomes of RFA in comparison with surgery for unilateral multifocal PTMC.
Objective: This work aims to report the comparison between RFA vs surgery for unilateral multifocal PTMC over a more than 5-year follow-up period.
Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of death among cancers in the world. Although improvements in various treatments have greatly improved the survival time of colorectal cancer patients, since colorectal cancer is often at an advanced stage when diagnosed, the prognosis of patients is still very poor.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFAchalasia is generally accepted as a condition associated with an increased risk for developing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In our paper, we introduced an achalasia patient combined with synchronous early esophageal neoplasms. We performed a combination of concurrent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM).
