Filter by:Thyroid surgery is the most common type of surgery among endocrine surgeries. This surgery is performed for patients with suspected malignancy, patients diagnosed with malignancy, and toxic nodular goiter. In addition to vocal cord injury, which is the most important complication of thyroid surgery, hypocalcemia due to hypoparathyroidism and surgical wound complications (such as hematoma, and fistula) can also be observed, and malignancy surgery increases the risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Therefore, it is important to differentiate these groups using non-invasive methods before surgery. Tumor-related inflammation is activated as a result of bone marrow and inflammation induced by malignancies. Insufficiently controlled or uncontrolled inflammatory activity may be responsible for malignant transformation. Lymphocyte monocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution are parameters (RDW, RDW-CW) previously studied in terms of cancers. Our aim in this study is to reveal the RDW, RDW-CW, and LMR calculated from complete blood count parameters in the preoperative period, as an indicator of malignant inflammatory response, in a non-invasive and inexpensive way before surgery or biopsy is performed to distinguish nodular goiter and thyroid malignancy.
This is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the capability of 68Ga-labeled targeted covalent radiopharmaceutical (TCR) fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT to guide the surgical treatment of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). The surgical extent of MTC is determined based on the lesion range revealed by 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT, with the main endpoint being 1-month post-surgical calcitonin level.
This study is a randomized controlled trial. Adult patients undergoing thyroidectomy under general anesthesia at Severance Hospital and Yonsei Cancer Center are included in tis study. For intervention group, patients receive anesthesia with total intravenous remimazolam, while for control group, patients receive anesthesia with inhalation anesthetic. The primary end point of the study is to determine whether coughing during endotracheal tube extubation is less when anesthesia is maintained with intravenous remimazolam compared to inhalation anesthetics. The secondary end points are cough score (graded into 4 levels), frequency of reoperation due to postoperative bleeding, These include the frequency of hypertension during the extubation process and whether additional painkillers are used in the recovery room.
To study if its is safe to reduce the amount of postoperative treatments in those patients, who have been operated on because of a low-risk intrathyroidal papillary thyroid cancer with diameter of 11-20mm, and in whom postoperative thyroglobulin levels are of low level.
This is a Phase 1, FIH, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) effects, and preliminary antitumor activity of IK-595, a MEK/RAF molecular glue, administered orally as monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors with gene alterations in the RAS- MAPK pathway for whom there are no further treatment options known to confer clinical benefit.
1. To identify the prevalence of both anxiety and depression in thyroid cancer patients 2. To assess quality of life in thyroid cancer patients
This study is an observational cohort study targeting patients with low-risk Papillary thyroid cancer who opted for active surveillance or immediate surgery based on a sufficient understanding of the treatment options. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate progression free survival of the patients with low-risk Papillary thyroid cancer who choose active surveillance, in other words, to observe the natural course of low-risk Papillary thyroid cancer.
This study examines the impact of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring signal changes on the postoperative voice quality of thyroid surgery patients. By analyzing extensive surgical data and postoperative voice recordings, the investigation seeks to identify patterns in the variations of these signals and their correlation with voice quality outcomes. The goal is to enhance clinical understanding and surgical practices, allowing for more precise assessments of nerve function, informed surgical interventions, and improved postoperative patient well-being.
The oncologic benefit of lateral neck dissection (LND) during index operation for sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) basing on basal calcitonin (bCT) levels has been questioned due to the potential post-operative complications. This study aims to evaluate desmoplastic reaction (DSR), as predictor of nodal metastases, for definition of surgical strategy. Data from pathological report of MTC after operations between 1997 and 2022 were collected. The primary endpoint of the study was evaluating the risk factors for nodal metastases. The secondary endpoints analyzed the correlations between DSR and nodal metastases and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of DSR for nodal metastases.
This study involved a comprehensive analysis of 256 PTC patients from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (SYSMH) and 499 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas. DNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) were employed to capture genetic alterations and TME heterogeneity. A deep learning multimodal model was developed by incorporating matched histopathology slide images, genomic, transcriptomic, immune cells data to predict LNM and disease-free survival (DFS).
