Hereditary Risk Factors for Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancers can occur sporadically, but can also be found as tumors that cluster in families with other cancers or genetic syndromes. Researchers are studying thyroid cancer in children and families, with a particular interest in understanding genes and other factors that may put individuals at risk for developing thyroid …
A Study of Avutometinib and Defactinib in People With Thyroid Cancer
The researchers are doing this study to find out if the combination of avutometinib and defactinib is an effective treatment for RAF dimer-driven radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer or anaplastic thyroid cancer. The researchers will also test whether avutometinib and defactinib is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side …
Artificial Tears to Prevent Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in Patients Treated With Radioactive Iodine for Thyroid Cancer
The association of radioiodine therapy for the treatment of thyroid cancer with nasolacrimal duct obstruction has been well documented in the medical literature. Prior case reports have documented radioactive iodine detection in the tears of patients following radioiodine therapy. It is possible that radioactive uptake by the cells in the …
Systematic Radioiodine Administration Versus Decision of Radioiodine Treatment Guided by a Post-operative Work-up
This trial is comparing two strategies in intermediate-risk differentiated thyroid cancer patients: Systematic radioiodine administration versus decision of radioiodine treatment guided by a post-operative work-up based on serum Tg values and diagnostic RAI scintigraphy
Lateral Cervical Node Dissection in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
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)
Assessing Patient Satisfaction and Confidence After Use of Educational Video to Augment Surgical Consent for Thyroid Surgery
This study looks at how a short educational video can help people better understand thyroid surgery. Patients who have thyroid nodules and need surgery will be part of the study. Some patients will get the usual information from their doctor, while others will also watch a video that explains the …
A Study of AL2846 Capsule Versus Placebo in the Treatment of Advanced Radioiodine-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
This study aims to demonstrate that, in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic iodine - refractory differentiated thyroid cancer who have failed previous VEGFR - targeted therapy, AL2846 can significantly prolong progression - free survival (PFS) compared with placebo.
Adjuvant Radiotherapy in High Risk Locally Advanced DTC
This study is a phase III randomized controlled clinical trial on the role of adjuvant radiotherapy in high-risk locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the experimental group (adjuvant radiotherapy+RAI) or the control group (RAI), with LRFS as the primary …
AI-based Physiotherapy for Oral Cancer Patients
This study examines the effects of AI-based physiotherapy on oral function, shoulder function, whole-body physical function, and quality of life in oral cancer patients. One hundred patients will be recruited before surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy and randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving 12 weeks of AI-guided physiotherapy or a …
Comparison of I-124 PET/CT for the Diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer
Persons diagnosed with thyroid cancer are often treated initially with a thyroidectomy, which is followed by ablation using Iodine-131, a therapy which has been shown to be effective and safe. Imaging of metastatic thyroid cancer has been performed with whole body I-131 and Iodine 123 (I-123) imaging for many decades …
