Filter by: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 collected data on open thyroidectomy patients admitted to the Breast and Thyroid Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 by reviewing medical records. This study was divided into an experimental group and a control group based on whether a head mounted magnifying glass was used, with the main calculation indicator being changes in PTH levels before and after surgery. This study investigated whether the application of head mounted magnifying glasses had an impact on preoperative and postoperative changes in PTH levels through inter group and self pre - and post control, in order to verify the practical effectiveness of head mounted magnifying glasses in thyroid surgery and provide reasonable suggestions for the selection of subsequent surgical treatment methods.
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.
To clarify the clinical effect of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder intervention on postoperative depressive symptoms of papillary thyroid carcinoma ; to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder.
The problem of false-negative lymph nodes in the central region (CLN) refers to the inability to detect lymph nodes (LN) metastasis during preoperative ultrasound examination but is confirmed by surgical and postoperative pathological examination. According to this study, the false-negative rate of CLN of patients with TC was relatively high at approximately 71.7%. The high proportion of false-negatives indicates limitations in the sensitivity of ultrasound examination, especially for detecting small LN or small metastases. The presence of false-negative CLN directly affects clinical practice. First, it may lead to insufficient selection of treatment strategies for patients with TC, thereby affecting their prognosis. Second, such false-negative results may lead surgeons to overly trust ultrasound examination during preoperative evaluation, neglecting the importance of comprehensive clinical information, and thus affecting the formulation of treatment plans. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing false-negative CLN through a cohort study and to establish a predictive model.
Rising thyroid carcinoma rates, with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) as the main type (85-90% of cases), often show early cervical lymph node spread. This increases the risk of PTC patients for recurrence and death. A new study's multimodal model fuses preoperative US and cytology images to better predict lymph node metastasis, aiming to improve treatment plans, reduce unnecessary surgeries, and enhance patient outcomes.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with radioiodine-refractory thyroid carcinoma (RRTC) who underwent radioactive 125I seed implantation combined with anlotinib from January 2019 to October 2024 at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital. Data on tumor size changes before and after treatment, serological tests (including serum TG, TgAb, CTn, CEA, etc.), changes in patients' pain scores, and side effects were collected to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of this therapy.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on RAIR-DTC patients who underwent radioactive 125I seed implantation from January 2015 to February 2022 at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital. Prescription dose: 80~120 Gy. All cases were followed up at 1, 3, and 5 months postoperatively to monitor changes in tumor size, serum thyroglobulin (Tg), and serum anti-thyroglobulin antibody levels in thyrotropin-inhibited states, pain scores, and postoperative adverse reactions. The data were processed and analyzed using IBM SPSS 26.0. Pairwise comparisons were conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and a p-value of less than 0.05 indicated statistical significance.
Thyroid surgery is the most common type of surgery among endocrine surgeries. This surgery is performed for patients with suspected malignancy, patients diagnosed with malignancy, and toxic nodular goiter. In addition to vocal cord injury, which is the most important complication of thyroid surgery, hypocalcemia due to hypoparathyroidism and surgical wound complications (such as hematoma, and fistula) can also be observed, and malignancy surgery increases the risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Therefore, it is important to differentiate these groups using non-invasive methods before surgery. Tumor-related inflammation is activated as a result of bone marrow and inflammation induced by malignancies. Insufficiently controlled or uncontrolled inflammatory activity may be responsible for malignant transformation. Lymphocyte monocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution are parameters (RDW, RDW-CW) previously studied in terms of cancers. Our aim in this study is to reveal the RDW, RDW-CW, and LMR calculated from complete blood count parameters in the preoperative period, as an indicator of malignant inflammatory response, in a non-invasive and inexpensive way before surgery or biopsy is performed to distinguish nodular goiter and thyroid malignancy.
This study is a randomized controlled trial. Adult patients undergoing thyroidectomy under general anesthesia at Severance Hospital and Yonsei Cancer Center are included in tis study. For intervention group, patients receive anesthesia with total intravenous remimazolam, while for control group, patients receive anesthesia with inhalation anesthetic. The primary end point of the study is to determine whether coughing during endotracheal tube extubation is less when anesthesia is maintained with intravenous remimazolam compared to inhalation anesthetics. The secondary end points are cough score (graded into 4 levels), frequency of reoperation due to postoperative bleeding, These include the frequency of hypertension during the extubation process and whether additional painkillers are used in the recovery room.
