Filter by:The objective of this research is to investigate the clinical outcomes of modified surgical techniques such as omitting the cervical linea alba suture in transthoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy. Furthermore, the study requires the collection of normal thyroid tissues, benign and malignant thyroid tumors, and lymph nodes to further clarify the mechanisms associated with the initiation, progression, metastasis, and recurrence of thyroid cancer.
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics of K9 in healthy subjects (Cohort 1) and the safety and treatment efficacy of K9 in patients with active Thyroid Eye Disease (Cohort 2). Participants will receive study medication one time or for up to 4 weeks. Participants will have blood drawn and/or complete eye exams and questionnaires. The planned duration of this study is 6 weeks.
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.
This retrospective study was to develop and verify a CT-based radiomics model, 2D deep learning model and 3D deep learning model to preoperatively predict the thyroid cartilage invasion of laryngeal cancer patients, so as to provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment basis for clinicians. And the performance of the aforementioned models was compared with two radiologists. In addition, the researchers investigated the prediction of survival outcomes of patients by the above optimal models.
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The traditional first line treatment for patients with advanced DTC after surgical resection is radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, less than a quarter of patients with lung metastases will achieve a complete response to RAI therapy, and this therapy carries the risk of pulmonary fibrosis and an increasingly recognized risk of secondary malignancies.
Levothyroxine is the most used thyroid hormone replacement when the thyroid gland is failing. Because dosage adjustment normally takes several months, the investigators have developed a decision support tool (DST) that predicts optimal dosage based on repeated blood samples the first 2 weeks after initiation of therapy. In this randomized study the investigators will include patients that start levothyroxine therapy after total thyroidectomy. The use of DST to advice the physician about an early dosage adjustment will be compared with common clinical practice, that is dosage adjustment every 2 months. The effect of DST use will be assessed by studying the possible relationship between fast optimal dose adjustment, patient reported outcome measures, and ability to work.
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.
This phase II trial tests how well vemurafenib and cobimetinib work in treating patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy. Vemurafenib and cobimetinib are used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. They are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving vemurafenib and cobimetinib may work better to treat patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy.
In absence of nodal metastases or aggressive features, thyroid lobectomy (TL) should be preferred over total thyroidectomy (TT) for small unifocal, papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC). However, occult, despite non-microscopic (>2 mm), nodal metastases may be present inclinically node-negative (cN0) PTC. Among 4216 thyroidectomies for malignancy (2014-2023), 110 (2.6%) TL plus ipsilateral central neck dissections (I-CND) were scheduled for unifocal cT1b/small cT2 (<3 cm) cN0 PTCs. Nodes frozen section examination (FSE) was performed: when positive, completion thyroidectomy (CT) was accomplished during the same procedure. In presence of aggressive pathologic features, CT was suggested within 6 months from index operation.
This study aims to thoroughly examine survival disparities in patients with T3 or T4 stage follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) as classified by the AJCC staging system. It compares outcomes between those who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) and those who did not, and assesses the influence of radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) on the survival of patients without TT. Utilizing the SEER database, a retrospective study identified patients diagnosed with T3 or T4 FTC, categorizing them into two cohorts: those treated with TT and those who were not (No-TT). The No-TT group was further analyzed to determine the impact of RAIT on patient survival. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for confounding variables. Survival analysis, including Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Landmark analysis, was conducted to evaluate the effects of surgical intervention and RAIT on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).
