Filter by:A multi-center , opened, Phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of Sulfatinib 300 mg Sulfatinib in advanced Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma ( MTC) and iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Coughing is a common adverse reaction of thyroid surgery,which could result in postoperative bleeding.Postoperative bleeding is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication，which could result in acute upper airway obstruction due to neck hematoma and increase the need for re-operation.The purpose of this study is to investigate whether dexmedetomidine can reduce the incidence of postoperative coughing and contribute to postoperative recovery in patients undergoing tyroid surgery with general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the outcomes of active surveillance (observation) instead of immediate surgery, which is the current standard of care for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Patients with a 1.5 cm or smaller thyroid nodule(s) with papillary thyroid carcinoma will be eligible for the study.
Cytological examination of punctured lymph nodes is the gold standard for confirming metastatic lymph node spread of differentiated thyroid cancers. In order to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of fine-needle cyto-punctured lymph nodes, an assessment of Tg levels of the aspirate could be included. Although this technique has been well proven, many uncertainties remain, especially with regards to a pathological cut-off value and its clinical utility when the thyroid is still intact. This uncertainty is mainly due to discordancy between low Tg levels found in cytopunctured lymph nodes with normal cytology, and their final histopathological analyses. To eliminate this uncertainty, cyto-punction will be performed intra-operatively after localizing and isolating the target lymph nodes for assessment of cytology and Tg values. The thyroid gland might be present or absent (already operated) depending on the case. Finally, the cyto-punctured lymph nodes will be excised for complete histopathological analysis. In order to determine whether the Tg values are appropriate in cases where the thyroid is intact, a control group has been included (First operation for thyroid cancer or benign pathology). To eliminate the possible iatrogenic risks of lymph node dissection and resection in patients for whom it is not indicated, only lymph nodes found along the incision path for neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (performed systematically) will be analysed and excised.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about possible weight, muscle, and/or fat loss in patients receiving cabozantinib or lenvatinib.
To compare the effects and safety of Anlotinib with placebo in patients with Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects and safety of Anlotinib with placebo in patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
Immunohistochemical detection of the BRAF-V600E mutation on pre-operative fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from patients suspected for papillary thyroid carcinoma, using the mutation specific antibody VE1.
The hypothesis is that the particular richness of ATC's microenvironment in TAMs creates a unique opportunity for using Tumor Necrosis Factor blockade during chemotherapy and radiotherapy in order to counteract tumor resistance to therapy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the concordance between the 18F-PET/CT under thyrotropin stimulation and the diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging, in the detection of residual mass in 40 patients with partial response or relapsed differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
