Filter by:A randomized controlled prospective study of laryngoscopy and evaluation of the Intraoperative nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery comparing direct laryngoscopy and the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.
The study is a multi-center prospective cohort study of active surveillance in papillary thyroid cancer with low risk. The purpose of the study is to observe natural course of low risk papillary thyroid cancer in Korean population, and comparison of prognosis between active surveillance group and conventional surgery group. Patient will be well informed about their choice of active surveillance or surgery.
The incidence rates of thyroid cancers have increased in the past decade. Additionally, up to 68% of people have thyroid nodules. Consequently, a precise evaluation of thyroid nodules is very important and can avoid unnecessary biopsy of benign nodules. Shear wave elastography(SWE), a novel ultrasound-based elastographic method, is a new real-time, quantitative, operator-independent, and reproducible technique. Briefly, shear wave elastography uses a radiation force produced by an ultrasonic beam to stress tissues and ultrafast sonographic tracking techniques to measure the speed of shear waves. Based on the Young modulus formula, tissue elasticity can be derived from the shear wave propagation speed, and a real-time color-coded elastogram can be displayed, showing softer tissue in blue and stiffer tissue in red. There are lots of research confirmed that SWE has a certain value in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma. These studies include prospective studies and retrospective studies, but both belong to a single center study. It has not been applied to the study of the multicenter of thyroid disease. The main purpose of the study is to assess the performance of SWE for identification of benign and malignant thyroid nodules and calculate the optimal cutoff value for each parameter in multicenter study; the secondary purpose is to evaluate the application value of SWE for uncertain nodules by FNA.
The present Ph.D.-study investigates the mechanisms behind the association between thyroid autoimmunity and reproductive failure.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of thyroid functions on energy homeostasis and inflammation.
The objective of this project is to evaluate a treatment decision aid for patients with low risk thyroid cancer.

Clinical and subclinical thyroid disease is usually used to describe patients with mild symptoms correlated to hyperthyroid or hypothyroid state. Therapeutic decision for clinical and subclinical thyroid dysfunction should be considered individually. But long term outcome for treatment of such functional and structural thyroid diseases had not been recorded delicately in Taiwan. Further investigations should be observed in the future.The purpose of this study is aiming for early prevention and detection the potential risk factors for thyroid diseases in Taiwan.
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating younger patients with sarcomas, Wilms tumor, or other rare tumors that have come back, do not respond to therapy, or are newly diagnosed. Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth and tumor blood vessel growth.
