Estimating Jaw, Neck, and Shoulder Range of Motion Using an AI Model
This observational study aims to develop an AI-based system for tracking mandibular and shoulder movements using deep learning techniques. It will compare AI-generated pose estimations with gold standard measurements to assess accuracy, particularly in patients with functional impairments from oral cancer treatment, such as trismus, spinal accessory nerve dysfunction, neck …
Observational Study Analysing the Transcriptome and Mutational Status of Thyroid Carcinomas of Follicular Origin with Different Degrees of Malignancy
Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy, with well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs)-papillary (PTC) and follicular (FTC)-comprising the majority of cases. While DTCs generally have favorable prognoses, a subset progresses to poorly differentiated or anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), which is highly aggressive. Tumor classification is based on histopathology, invasiveness, …
RW Study of Adjuvant Radiotherapy in Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer
This study is a real-world study to observe the role of adjuvant radiotherapy in locally advanced recurrent high-risk thyroid cancer. The study included thyroid cancer that requires adjuvant radiotherapy to increase local control rate, excluding undifferentiated cancer. Local-regional recurrence free survival is the primary endpoint of the study.
Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Circulating Biomarkers in Advanced Thyroid Carcinomas
The study is aimed at all adult patients diagnosed with advanced thyroid carcinomas and well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) iodine-refractory, well-differentiated iodine-refractory thyroid (RAI-R DTC) metastatic carcinomas that are candidates for systemic therapy. By simple blood sampling and analysis on peripheral blood of circulating DNA (ccf-DNA), circulating RNA (ccf-RNA), and counting …
The Value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in Detecting Recurrent and Metastatic Lesions in Patients with Thyroid Cancer After Surgery
This study aims to investigate the value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in detecting recurrent and metastatic lesions in patients with thyroid cancer after surgery.
The Value of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in Preoperative Evaluation of Thyroid Cancer with Lymph Node Metastases
This study aims to investigate the value of 68Ga-FAPI in the preoperative evaluation of thyroid cancer of different pathologic types.
Environmental Factors and Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer incidence has been steadily increasing and has nearly tripled since the 1970's in the US and worldwide. Early detection of small, papillary thyroid cancers using high quality diagnostic imaging explains only about 50% of this increased incidence, suggesting that there is a true increase in the occurrence of …
Exploring the Application Value of PET Molecular Imaging Targeting FAP in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
In this prospective study, the investigators will use integrated PET/CT with the agent 68Ga-FAPI and conventional imaging agent 18F-FDG to explore the application value of FAP-targeted molecular imaging in the diagnosis and staging for oral cancer. This study also aims to explore the application value of FAPI imaging in evaluating …
Novel Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation Knife in Esophageal Lesions
Both Baylor St Luke's Medical Center and Mayo Scottsdale are considered endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) centers of excellence. The investigators at Baylor College of Medicine have previously reported our Esophageal ESD experience using the monopolar current knife. Moreover, the research team have previously reported on the clinical efficacy of the …
Dual-Channel Near-Infrared Autofluorescence Imaging and AI Analysis to Locate Parathyroid Glands (PTFinder)
This study tests PTFinder, a dual-camera system that makes parathyroid glands glow on screen by capturing their natural near-infrared autofluorescence. After a thyroid or parathyroid operation, the removed tissue is scanned with PTFinder and then checked again under normal white light. We will measure how fast (seconds) and how accurately …
