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 …
Natural History Study of Children and Adults With Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Background Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare cancer of the thyroid gland. In children and adults, it is often part of a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2 (MEN2). MEN2 is usually caused by a genetic mutation, and it can cause a number of problems in addition to MTC. …
Intraoperative Neuromuscular Monitoring and Its Impact on Pre- and Postoperative Acoustic Outcomes in Thyroid Surgery
This study examines the impact of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring signal changes on the postoperative voice quality of thyroid surgery patients. By analyzing extensive surgical data and postoperative voice recordings, the investigation seeks to identify patterns in the variations of these signals and their correlation with voice quality outcomes. …
Radiofrequency Ablation for Management of Benign/Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules and Low Risk Papillary Thyroid Cancers
To track the outcomes of patients who have been treated with RFA and its long-term effectiveness, and to learn more about the quality of life of patients who have received RFA in this study.
Surgical Competency for Robot-Assisted Thyroidectomy: Construction and Validation of a Robotic Thyroidectomy Assessment Score (RTAS)
To develop and validate a structured scoring tool (robotic thyroidectomy assessment score, RTAS) for assessing and quantifying surgical performance in robotic thyroidectomy (RT).
New MRI Biomarkers in Head and Neck Cancers
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic technique that takes pictures of organs of the body. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves that cannot be felt. This makes specific organs, blood vessels, or tumors easier to see. Diffusion MRI lets us measure the motion of water in the tumor. …
Thyroglobulin Point of Care Assay for Rapid Detection of Metastatic Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Despite a favorable prognosis, metastatic cervical lymph nodes (LN), are not uncommon among patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Current guidelines recommend that a suspicious cervical LN on neck ultrasound (US) should be investigated with fine needle aspiration biopsy for cytology (FNAC) and for thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement (FNA-Tg), using …
Concordance of Molecular Classification Based on Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) and Surgical Samples
The purpose of this study is to determine whether results from a fine needle biopsy are the same as results from a larger sample that is acquired from the surgical pathology using the Thyroid GuidePx® test in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
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 …
