Filter by:The objective of the study is to construct a noninvasive approach 68Ga-THP-Trop2 VHH PET/CT to detect the Trop-2 expression of tumor lesions in patients with thyroid cancer and to identify patients benefiting from Trop-2 targeting antibody-drug conjugate treatment.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the clinical utility of I-124 PET/CT imaging and dosimetry in patients with thyroid cancer including 1) Evaluation of extent (volume and pattern) of remnant tissue in post total thyroidectomy setting and distinction of nodal metastases vs remnant tissue for determination of indication for RAI ablation, 2) Evaluation of response to RAI remnant ablation, 3) Evaluation for suspected occult recurrent/metastatic disease, 4) Evaluation of extent of disease in patients with known metastatic disease and 5) Evaluation of RAI avidity of recurrent/metastatic thyroid cancer and response to treatment with thyroid kinase inhibitors (TKI). Patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancers are studied. Patients who are newly diagnosed, as well as those who have known or suspected to have recurrent or metastatic disease are eligible. Patients receiving TKI treatment are eligible for evaluation prior to and after the treatment. The patients who are considered for TKI/MAPK treatments undergo pre and post treatment with clinically determined oncoprotein/TKR therapeutic agent(s), including multi-TKI, selective BRAF, MEK, PI3K or ERK inhibitors or combination treatments.
The aim of this observational study is to comprehensively analyze the metabolites in plasma samples from multi-cancer patients using advanced mass spectrometry detection technology, in conjunction with metabolomics approaches. The goal is to construct a plasma metabolite database for multi-cancer patients. Simultaneously, we will delve into the exploration and validation of a series of metabolic biomarkers for early multi-cancer diagnosis. The objective is to establish a safer, more convenient, and more sensitive early screening method, thereby providing a reliable scientific foundation and critical evidence for improving the early diagnostic process for individuals at high risk of multi-cancer.
Multiple clinical equipoises exist for the management of thyroid cancers. Shared decision-making (SDM) process where patients are supported to consider options, to achieve informed preferences with their clinicians have been recommended to improve patients' satisfaction and their overall quality of life. However, SDM can be difficult to achieve in our standard clinical encounters due to clinician's lack of confidence and time limitation to elicit patient's concerns and preferences. PCI as a decision-making support tool has shown to enhances clinician's awareness of patient's needs and allows for a more effective communication while the consultation time is unaffected. The successful development, testing and implementation of a PCI-TC could improve patient satisfaction, clinical efficiency and ensure that unmet need is appropriately addressed. This study will support the development of PCI-TC to better understand the wide-ranging needs of our patients and to improve the SDM process in the thyroid cancer management pathway.
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.
This study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of MDX2001 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This qualitative study seeks to explore the unmet needs of individuals who have recently undergone a cancer diagnosis and completed the acute phase of treatment. The primary objective is to utilize the experiences of patients, caregivers, and stakeholders to enhance the aftercare provided to cancer survivors. By delving into patient perceptions regarding unmet needs in cancer aftercare, the study aims to identify areas for redesigning and improving services to minimize these needs and ultimately enhance patient outcomes. Importantly, the investigation incorporates insights from patients, their caregivers, and stakeholders. The research will employ qualitative methods, specifically focus groups and interviews, to gather comprehensive perspectives from individuals in the Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia district who have completed treatment for breast, prostate, colorectal, thyroid, and multiple myeloma cancers. Including patients with diverse cancer types is crucial for capturing a broad spectrum of experiences. During data collection, both focus group discussions and interviews will be recorded in audio format and transcribed verbatim. This meticulous approach ensures an accurate representation of participants' voices and experiences. The subsequent analysis will employ a combination of framework and thematic analysis to extract meaningful insights and synthesize the data effectively. The study's ultimate goal is to leverage the findings to optimize aftercare services for cancer survivors within the local context of Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia. By incorporating the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and stakeholders, the research aims to contribute valuable insights that can inform the redesign and improvement of aftercare services, ultimately benefitting cancer survivors in the region.
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 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)
