To date, five academic societies in various countries have reported clinical practice guidelines, opinion statements, or recommendations regarding the use of thyroid RFA. However, despite some similarities, there are also differences among the guidelines, and a consensus is required regarding safe and effective treatment in Asian countries. Therefore, a task force was organized by the guideline committee of the Asian Conference on Tumor Ablation with the goal of devising recommendations for the clinical use of thyroid RFA. The recommendations in this article are based on a comprehensive analysis of the current literature and the consensus opinion of the task force members.enGuidelines; radiofrequency ablation; thyroid; ultrasonography[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG17cancer patient; consensus; human; patient safety; practice guideline; radiofrequency ablation; Review; thyroid nodule; treatment indication; tumor ablation; tumor diagnosisreview10.4103/JMU.JMU_178_20343776362-s2.0-85108793806https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85108793806
