Filter by:Although anamnesis and physical examination remain the place in the evaluation of patients today; laboratory values, imaging methods and pathology results have come to the fore in the decision-making of surgery for patients. As a result of all other criteria, a follow-up decision can be changed in a patient with a single fine needle aspiration biopsy result, or despite all the examinations the investigators have, a clear result cannot be achieved, and patient management may be disrupted. A holistic approach to thyroid gland pathologies is planned thanks to the scoring system that will be created in this study.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether nature-based activities provide benefits for breast cancer survivors. The investigators want to know whether a nature-based exercise program is feasible. Women who were diagnosed with breast cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for the main study. The main study will enroll up to 20 breast cancer subjects in total. This intervention will also include a sub-study examining the same outcomes among adolescents and young adult (AYA) subjects who were diagnosed with cancer (any type) and have completed cancer treatment. The sub-study will enroll up to 20 AYA (ages 18-39) subjects.
Aim/Introduction: The treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer includes generally a total thyroidectomy, followed by a radioiodine (131I)-therapy. Due to their ability to concentrate iodine, the salivary glands may present inflammation after administration of 131I, which may be symptomatic, may lead to longer-term chronic abnormalities, resulting in alterations in patients' nutrition and quality of life. The incidence of salivary dysfunctions after 131I-therapy varies considerably between studies due to methodological limitations. Also, the occurrence of these dysfunctions may be linked to increased uptake and/or retention of 131I in the salivary glands and/or individual radiosensitivity. However, no clinical or genetic factors have been identified to date to define patients at risk, allowing the delivered activity to be adapted to the expected risk of salivary dysfunctions. The aims of this study are to estimate the incidence of salivary dysfunctions after 131I-therapy, to characterize patients at risk of developing post-treatment dysfunctions using clinical, biomolecular and biochemical factors, and to validate a dosimetric method to calculate the dose received at the salivary gland level in order to analyse the dose response relationship between exposure of salivary glands to 131I and salivary dysfunctions. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort aims to include 120 patients, candidates for a 131I-therapy in the context of their differentiated thyroid cancer, treated in the Nuclear Medicine department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital (40 and 80 patients in a 1.1GBq and a 3.7GBq dose groups respectively). The follow-up is based on 3 scheduled visits: at inclusion (immediately before 131I therapy), 6months and 18months after treatment. For each visit, questionnaires on salivary disorders (validated French tool), quality of life (HAD-scale, MOS-SF-36), and nutritional status are administered. At inclusion and at T6, saliva samples and individual measurement of the salivary flow, without and with salivary glands stimulation, are performed. External thermoluminescent dosimeters are placed opposite the salivary glands and at the sternal fork on the treatment's day before radioiodine administration and removed 5days after treatment. From dosimeters, a reconstitution of the dose received at the salivary glands will be established using physical and computational phantoms. Genetic and epigenetic analyses will be performed to find biomarkers of predisposition to develop salivary disorders after 131I-therapy. Expected results Inclusion of patients started in September 2020 and are still ongoing. Statistical analyses will study the links between salivary dysfunctions and the 131I dose received by the salivary glands, taking into account associated factors. In addition, impacts on the patients' quality of life will be analysed.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether people who have had thyroid cancer develop resistance to treatment with thyroid hormones after having received high doses of thyroid drugs for many years.
To determine whether the use of anti-adhesion barrier after thyroid surgery can prevent the voice changes after surgery, using objective voice-related indicators.
The study team previously shown that a cholesterol metabolite, dendrogenin A (DDA) differentiates anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines and that its mRNA expression is diminished in human radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer samples. The team aim to quantify via mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry DDA and other cholesterol metabolites in thyroid cancer versus healthy thyroid tissue human samples.
The purpose of this research study is to measure the changes in energy metabolism (how the body burns energy), cardiovascular function (heart function), and lipid metabolism (cholesterol break down and building) before and after thyroidectomy (surgical removal of thyroid gland) in response to two approved therapies for hypothyroidism: levothyroxine (LT4) or Liothyronine/levothyroxine (LT3/LT4) combination therapy.
This is a Phase Ib/II, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of TT-00420 tablet, as monotherapy or in combination regimens, in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Open label first-in-human study of TH1902 in solid cancer, with 4 sequential parts: Part 1 (dose escalation): patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors (all comers) that have relapsed or are refractory to standard chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and for which no known effective therapies exist. Part 2 (expansion): selected patient populations with recurrent advanced TNBC, HR+ breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cutaneous melanoma, thyroid cancer, SCLC, prostate cancer and other cancers known to express SORT1 that are refractory to standard therapy. Part 3 (optimization): patients diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed high grade serous ovarian cancer, including high grade peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, or high grade endometrioid cancer, that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, should not be considered platinum sensitive, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit. Part 4 (basket expansion): selected cancer type diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed cancers, where TH1902 has been studied and/or showed activity (in Parts 1 to 3), that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit.
The purpose of this study is to explore whether percutaneous laser ablation (PLA) is a safe and effective alternative to removing papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) with surgery.
