The Effect of the Number of Central Lymph Nodes on Changes in Parathyroid

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study collected data from patients who underwent thyroidectomy in the Breast and Thyroid Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 by reviewing medical records. The main calculation indicator was the changes in PTH before and after surgery. This study grouped patients based on the number of central lymph nodes under postoperative paraffin pathology, and statistically analyzed the changes and differences in PTH before and after surgery in different groups to verify the relationship between the number of central lymph nodes in the thyroid gland and parathyroid function, and to provide reference for surgical selection in thyroid cancer patients with multiple cervical lymph node metastases.

Clinical Trial Description

The central lymph nodes of the thyroid gland refer to the lymph nodes located around the thyroid and trachea. The central lymph nodes are the primary site of thyroid cancer metastasis, and therefore play an important role in thyroid surgery. In thyroid surgery, preventive central lymph node dissection is a routine procedure, but during this process, the parathyroid gland may be impaired due to surgical injury or insufficient blood supply. Hypothyroidism, also known as parathyroidism, is a common complication of thyroid surgery. When the parathyroid gland is accidentally injured or its blood supply is disrupted, it can lead to insufficient production of parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone is a key hormone that regulates blood calcium levels. Insufficient levels can lead to hypocalcemia, manifested as hand and foot spasms, muscle spasms, and even arrhythmia. From a surgical perspective, the number of lymph nodes in the central region of the thyroid gland may affect the preservation and functional protection of the parathyroid gland. A large number of lymph nodes indicates that they may have a wider range of disease invasion, requiring more thorough lymph node dissection, thereby increasing the risk of damaging the parathyroid gland or its blood supply. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
