Filter by:This research study is studying a targeted therapy as a possible treatment for thyroid cancer. A targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific types of cancer cells with less harm to normal cells. - The name of the study intervention involved in this study is regorafenib.
It is generally estimated that 5 % of patients with thyroid cancer will develop distant metastases, and most of them had an advanced stage of the disease at presentation. Thirty per cent of them are resistant to radio iodine therapy and are called "refractory". Their long term survival is estimated to be less than 10 %. The objective of this study is to identify the factors associated with poor outcome in a cohort of patients with advanced thyroid cancer followed during 5 years. Anaplastic and medullary thyroid carcinomas were excluded.
Hypothesis: Dexamethasone reduces postoperative emesis in thyroidectomy and mastectomy patients.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about how vemurafenib may affect certain biomarkers in patients with PTC. Biomarkers are in the blood/tissue and may be related to your reaction to the study drug. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Vemurafenib is designed to block the BRAF gene mutation. This mutation causes cancer and cancer growth. By blocking this mutation, the drug may kill the cancer cells with the mutation and/or stop the tumor from growing.
The aim of the study is to evaluate differences between use of Ultrasonic Coagulation Device (New Harmonic ACE™, Ethicon endo-surgery) and Bipolar Energy Sealing System (LigaSure Precise™, Covidien) in surgery for thyroid cancer. Abbreviations: Ultrasonic Coagulation Device (UC), Bipolar Energy Sealing System (BES), Recurrence-free survival (RFS), Overall survival (OS)
The purpose of this study is to give patients with medullary thyroid cancer either 300mg/day or 150mg/day vandetanib and compare how well each dose affects how their cancer responds. It will also help the investigators understand the side effects of different doses in these patients.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about what patients undergoing surgery for thyroid cancer expect from their surgery. Your input may help us to better prepare and inform patients about their disease and its treatment.
IoN is a phase II/ III trial that will look to ascertain whether or not radio-iodine ablation is necessary for low risk differentiated thyroid cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the combination of sorafenib and everolimus will have on your thyroid cancer. Treatment guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network include sorafenib as a treatment option for thyroid cancer. Sorafenib is pill that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of kidney and liver cancers. Sorafenib may work in many different ways. It helps decrease the blood supply to tumors. By doing so, it may limit the tumor's source of oxygen and nutrients and prevent the tumor from growing. Everolimus is an oral medication that is FDA approved for the treatment of kidney cancer. It inhibits a protein kinase called mTOR ("mammalian Target of Rapamycin"). In laboratory studies, the addition of everolimus to sorafenib works better than sorafenib alone. These two drugs are being used together to treat other types of cancer in other clinical studies. In addition, the cancer will be evaluated to help us find factors that can help predict who would benefit most from this combination of drugs.
The purpose of this study is to provide educational material to promote screening for second primary cancer for the intervention group, or educational material to instruct appropriate use of dietary supplement for the control group.
