Renovated Prediction Model for Difficult Transoral and Submental Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
The investigators have previously proposed a prediction model for difficult transoral and submental thyroidectomy through a retrospective study. In order to better promote transoral and submental endoscopic approach for thyroid surgery and to set up an appropriate training course, the investigators aim to renovate and validate the prediction model through …
Prevalence and Predictors of Incidental Thyroid Carcinoma in Patients With Graves' Disease Undergoing Thyroidectomy.
The prevalence of incidental thyroid cancer (ITC) in Graves' Disease (GD) patients undergoing thyroidectomy appears higher than historically believed, potentially exceeding 10% in large contemporary series, although significant variability exists. The presence of nodules is a strong predictor, while the roles of age, sex, and BMI require clarification. Most ITCs …
Correlation Between Various Urinary Exosomal Protein Biomarkers and Pathological Manifestation in Thyroid Follicular Neoplasm: Early and Pre-operative Diagnosis of Follicular Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in the world. Generally, thyroid cancer could be divided into well-differentiated and poorly-differentiated. Well-differentiated thyroid cancers usually have two different patterns, including papillary thyroid cancer and follicular thyroid cancer. Thyroid sonography is convenient to obtain repeatedly for the images of nodular goiter. …
Prediction Model of Response for CCRT in Esophageal Cancer
Retrospective review of old patients Analysis of prediction factors for concomitant chemo-radiotherapy in locally advanced and advanced esophageal cancer from 2005 to 2015 2. Prospective case-control study: RNA sequencing & miRNA microarray naive esophageal cancer patients who have a plan to receive concomitant chemo-radiotherapy acquirement of tissue, blood, clinical information …
Value of Pleural Lavage Cytology in Resectable Esophageal Carcinoma Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Projects 2005, ECTOP-2005)
Disease recurrence and metastasis are common after curative treatment for patients with esophageal cancer. Thus, it is important to identify the risk factors to predict disease recurrence and metastasis. Pleural lavage cytology (PLC) is reported to be associated with disease recurrence and patient survival in lung cancer, but the value …
Tissue Collection Protocol for Gastroesophageal Cancers
This proposed collection of primary tumor cells lines will benefit esophageal cancer research within the University Health Network. This collection of gastro-esophageal tumor samples will be used to grow primary tumor cell lines, which will provide researchers with ready samples of various gastro-esophageal cancers. This will help to address the …
CIRCULATing Biomarkers for Individualized Surgical Therapy in gastroEsophageal Cancer - Phase 1
This is an exploratory observational biomarker study in approximately 100 eligible patients with resectable adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastro- esophageal junction (GEJ) type I-II (GEAC) to investigate the difference deletion frequency of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) between peripheral veins and tumor-draining veins (primary endpoint), prognostic value, relevance of a …
Influence Mechanism of Tumor Microenvironment Changes on Neoadjuvant Therapy for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
To evaluate the predictive value and mechanism of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood on the prognosis of patients, and to explore the influencing factors of inflammation and tumor microenvironment on the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for esophageal cancer. To explore the predictors of neoadjuvant therapy in patients …
Real-world Study on Comprehensive Treatment of Esophageal Cancer Based on Precision Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for locally advanced esophageal carcinoma (EC). The accuracy of the existing imaging methods in diagnosing and predicting therapeutic efficacy is disappointing, which increases the difficulty in clinical decision-making. In this study, based on a continuous cohort of EC treated with radiotherapy, the clinical …
Surgery As Needed for Oesophageal Cancer - 2
A prospective cohort study on active surveillance after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for oesophageal cancer: SANO-2 study.
