Filter by: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).
Ideal surgical extent for differentiated thyroid cancer remains unclear. Routine use of molecular analysis in biopsy-proven thyroid cancer could provide important prognostic information to help guide extent of surgery - thyroid lobectomy versus total thyroidectomy. This is a pilot feasibility study for the use of routine molecular analysis in Bethesda V and VI thyroid cancers, with randomization of the intermediate-molecular risk subgroup to thyroid lobectomy and total thyroidectomy. The investigators hypothesize that patients will 1) agree to preoperative molecular analysis, and 2) 50% of intermediate-risk patients will agree to and follow through with randomization. This will be a pilot study for a future randomized controlled trial (RTC) to compare between the two surgical approaches in intermediate-molecular risk thyroid cancer.
The study aims to test if use of autofluorescence imaging (AF) reduces the risk of developing hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) following surgery for thyroid cancer, either total thyroidectomy (TT) or completion hemithyroidectomy (cHT).
This study is being done to identify and differentiate thyroid nodules by acoustic imaging and viscoelastic parameters.
This is a retrospective and prospective real-world clinical study of molecular typing in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer. The retrospective study : Patients with advanced thyroid cancer who received precise treatment in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrieved. The number of previous treatment lines was not limited. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic information, clinical characteristics, tumor treatment history, medication regimen, adverse reactions, molecular test results, survival follow-up results and other data were collected. The prospective study : Patients with advanced thyroid cancer who received precise treatment in our hospital from January 2024 to April 2027 were enrolled.
This observational study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of postoperative management in patients with thyroid cancer who received subtotal or total thyroidectomy.
The objective of this study is to compare shoulder and neck morbidity and the effectiveness of cervical lateral nodal dissection in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer and lateral metastases between the anterior and posterior approaches to the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM)
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer and has a good prognosis.According to the 2015 American thyroid association (ATA) guidelines, no gross extrathyroidal extension and the number of pathological lymph node micrometastases (<0.2cm) ≤5 were defined as the low recurrence risk group. After total thyroidectomy and radioiodine treatment, the probability of disease-free status (irritant Tg<1ng/ml, no evidence of other disease recurrence) is about 78%-91%, and the probability of structural recurrence is about 1%-10%. In recent years, due to the further understanding of PTC, surgeons tend to become more conservative in treatment, such as active observation or reducing the extent of surgery. The indication for lobectomy has been extended to tumors <4cm without extrathyroidal extension and clinical lymph node metastasis. For patients treated with lobectomy, current guidelines recommend that Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) be controlled at 0.5-2 mU/L, but evidence on the prognostic benefits of this TSH inhibition range is lacking.In recent years, a number of studies have suggested that if postoperative TSH in low-risk patients after lobectomy is acceptable within the reference range, it means that a considerable number of patients have a high probability of not receiving thyroxine replacement therapy after surgery, which can significantly improve their quality of life.A previous retrospective study from our institute showed no significant association between TSH levels after lobectomy and prognosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits and risks of postoperative TSH levels within the reference range (0.4-5 mU/L) in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer who underwent lobectomy.In order to improve the effect of longer recurrence and death time of PTC, the investigators also performed postoperative thyroglobulin and its antibody for short-term treatment response evaluation.
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer and has a good prognosis. Surgery is the primary treatment for PTC, and occult lymph node metastasis is not uncommon (20%-80%).The lymph node metastasis of PTC is mostly along the lymphatic drainage path station by station, and most of the first metastasis is to the central lymph node. According to the 2015 American Thyroid Association recommendation, prophylactic central lymph node dissection is recommended for patients with primary T3-4 or cN1b without central lymph node involvement. However, PTC with primary site T1-2, no external invasion and cN0 could not be dissected by central lymph node.Previous studies have suggested that prophylactic dissection should be performed to improve disease-specific survival, reduce local recurrence, improve recurrence risk and treatment response assessment, and help RAI decision making. Although routine prophylactic central lymph node dissection may detect occult lymph node metastasis, the need for further dissection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid gland may lead to an increased incidence of complications, while its effect on reducing the risk of recurrence and improving prognosis is unclear, and the impact on long-term outcomes may be small.Previous retrospective studies in our institution have shown that routine central neck dissection does not significantly reduce the risk of recurrence. This study was designed to evaluate the benefits and risks of prophylactic central lymph node dissection in cT1b-T2N0 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. In order to ameliorate the effects of relapse and long time of death of PTC, thyroglobulin and its antibodies were also evaluated for short-term treatment response after surgery.
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an almost invariable lethal cancer in humans. Most patients present with a rapid progressive mass in the neck with progressive complaints like dyspnoea, dysphagia or pain. The risk of suffocation is the main reason for rapid surgical intervention, but we know from literature that an oncological resection with clear margins is seldomly achieved. Some patients deteriorate that fast after surgery that radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy is not feasible anymore. Patients with BRAF-mutated ATC already have shown to benefit from targeted BRAF/MEK inhibition. This study aims to increase the number of patients that undergo a successful R0 tumor resection after neo-adjuvant BRAF/MEK inhibitor treatment.
