Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate and recurrence-related factors, especially the relationship between RFS and RAI dose, in patients who received RAI after thyroidectomy.
The purpose of our study is to develop a high-fidelity thyroid education model, that can be utilized for medical students/ PGY doctors/ residents training. This model can help them better understand the structure of thyroid, learn about what are thyroid nodules, and practice thyroid fine needle aspiration examination with the model. The investigators would also evaluate the efficacy of using this model in student teaching.
The purpose of our study is to develop a high-fidelity thyroid education model, that can be utilized for patient education. This model can assist them in gaining a better understanding of the thyroid's structure, providing patients with insights into their own conditions and thyroid fine needle aspiration examinations.
This is a multi-cohort, open-label, single-centre, Phase 2 study aiming to investigate the efficacy and safety of a regimen using the multi-targeted kinase inhibitor Famitinib in combination with the PD-L1 antibody Adebrelimab for the patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic refractory to standard treatment differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) as well as Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can sensitively show the blood perfusion characteristics of thyroid nodules, which is a useful supplement to gray-scale ultrasound. However, there is no standard combined diagnostic method of gray-scale ultrasound and CEUS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the integrated scoring method and the up-and-down scoring method. This study was a multicenter retrospective clinical study and followed the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (version 2015). Inclusion criteria: 1) participants with at least one thyroid nodule larger than 5 mm confirmed by conventional ultrasound; 2) participants underwent gray-scale ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid nodule successively; 3) participants have a final diagnosis of benign or malignant. Exclusion criteria included: 1) participants with cytologic findings of Bethesda I, III, or IV without definitive benign or malignant pathologic findings; 2) participants with a history of thyroid fine needle aspiration, ablation or surgery; 3) participants with low quality ultrasound images (e.g., severe artifacts or low image resolution). According to the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System, only one thyroid nodule with the highest point was included in each participant. A total of 600 participants from January 2018 to December 2022 were consecutively included in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University to form a training set (average age 48 years; Range 24-81 years old). A total of 200 subjects with thyroid nodules from January 2022 to December 2022 were consecutively included to form an external validation set in Houjie Hospital of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province (mean age 46 years; Range 30-74 years). The malignant risk of enrolled thyroid nodules and the necessity of biopsy were evaluated by integrated scoring method and up-and-down scoring method, respectively. The diagnostic performance and unnecessary biopsy rate of the above two methods were calculated and compared.
1. Determine the frequency of utilizing single and multiple doses of radioactive iodine (RAI) in treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer. 2. Asses the impact of various doses of radioactive iodine on the management of differentiated thyroid cancer. 3. Investigate the influence of thyroid cancer on the quality of life of affected patients.
To compare same-day discharge and overnight (or longer) observation practices and learn more about the differences in patient preferences, safety outcomes, and economic and resource impact
Clinical studies, with a distinct emphasis on medullary thyroid cancer, play a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments for this condition. These trials serve as essential tools to determine whether new medications surpass conventional therapies, providing substantial evidence to endorse their broader adoption. The primary objective is to meticulously examine trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this specific patient group. By actively participating in this observational study plays a critical role in pushing medical knowledge forward and advancing care for individuals suffering from the medullary thyroid cancer.
Aims of the Research 1. To detect correlation between hyperthyroidism and non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). 2. To detect hepatic risk in subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism . 3. To detect early liver disorders in thyroid disorders using fibroscan .
This study aims to observe and explore the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib combined with penpulimab in the treatment of radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer with first-line resistance to angiogenesis inhibitors, and to summarize the treatment experience of population.
