Comparing an Investigational Scan (F-18 NaF PET/CT) to Standard of Care Imaging (F-18 FDG PET/CT) for Evaluating Vascular Complications in Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer
This early phase I trial compares sodium fluoride F-18 (F-18 NaF) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) to the standard of care imaging scan (and fludeoxyglucose F-18 \[F-18 FDG\] PET/CT) for assessing the effects radiation therapy has on the blood vessels in the neck in patients with head and neck …
Nasal Steam Therapy for Post-extubation Respiratory Events
The effect of symptom improvement of nasal steam strategy compared to routine management strategy for upper respiratory symptoms occurring after endotracheal intubation in patients aged 19 years or older who underwent surgical removal under anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation was evaluated by the difference in the results of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory …
Selective Adjuvant Therapy for HPV-mediated Oropharynx SCCs Based on Residual Circulating Tumor DNA Levels (SAVAL)
Patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer generally have favorable outcomes and how well they do depends on the specific details about the patient and their cancer. How well they do isn't as related to the kinds of treatment they get. However, there are significant side effects for the various …
High-resolution PET-CT Specimen Imaging for the Perioperative Visualization of Resection Margins
These are patients in whom a benign or malignant tumor was recorded requiring surgery. During that surgery, the surgeon will cut away the tumor as part of the treatment of the disease. In this process, it is important that the tumor is removed correctly and completely. To verify that the …
Extracellular Vesicles and Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the blood can be used as biomarkers to predict chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in adult cancer patients receiving chemotherapy with taxanes, platinum compounds, or antimitotic drugs. The main questions the study aims to answer are whether …
Submandibular Gland Preservation in Neck Dissection
Trial design: a randomized controlled trial. Eligibility criteria for participants: patients with primary early stage oral squamous cell carcinoma. Exclusion criteria: cancer of the floor of the mouth. Interventions: submandibular gland is preserved during neck dissection for patients of the experimental group; submandibular gland is removed during neck dissection for …
Hybrid Endoscopic Hemithyroidectomy and Targeted Ablation for Bilateral Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
This study evaluates a thyroid-function-preserving alternative to routine total thyroidectomy for bilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Eligible adults undergo remote-access gas-less axillo-breast endoscopic hemithyroidectomy with level VI dissection on the dominant side, followed by ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a ≤7 mm contralateral focus during the same anesthesia. Outcomes include …
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 …
Lesion Dosimetry With Iodine-124 in Metastatic Thyroid Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new diagnostic imaging test, positron emission tomography (PET), with a different radioactive form of iodine called iodine-124. This form is able to accurately measure the amount of radioactive iodine uptake in the cancer. If the new test determines sufficient radioiodine uptake …
Dual-port Trans-subclavian Thyroid Endoscopic Surgery
This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, non-randomized controlled real-world study aimed at exploring a novel approach to cavity construction for thyroid endoscopic surgery. The study seeks to evaluate its effectiveness and safety while accumulating further evidence-based medical data. Three hundred patients with thyroid tumors were divided into an experimental group …
