• Microwave ablation is comparable to surgery in the safety and short-term efficacy for PTCs with sonographically detected mETE. • Thermal ablation is technically feasible for mETE-PTC treatment. • Patients with mETE-PTC have similar quality of life in the two groups, except for worse scar problems and anxiety in the surgery group.
