Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiofrequency ablation uses a high-frequency electric current to kill tumor cells Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation may be effective treatment for thyroid cancer

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects of radiofrequency ablation in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for thyroid cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the frequency of complications associated with radiofrequency ablation RFA in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer undergoing thyroidectomy
Determine the utility of RFA as a treatment option for these patients

OUTLINE This is a pilot study

An electrosurgical probe is placed by ultrasound guidance into the center of the thyroid tumor Patients undergo radiofrequency ablation directly to the tumor until the target temperature is reached for 5 minutes Patients then undergo standard thyroidectomy

NOTE Takes approximately 15-30 minutes to reach target temperature

After completion of study treatment patients are followed at day 1 between days 14-21 and then periodically as deemed necessary

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 15-40 patients will be accrued for this study
