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 …
Ultrasound-guided Thermal Ablation for Recurrent Thyroid Cancer
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for recurrent thyroid cancer
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 …
Targeted Therapy to Increase RAI Uptake in Metastatic DTC
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a common type of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in children and represents the second most common cancer in adolescent females. Recently targeted drugs that block many of the genetic drivers of DTC have become available. While Investigators know that these drugs shrink DTC tumors in …
Study of the Prevalence of Osteo-metabolic Complications in Patients With Thyroid Cancer
This is a multicenter retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of osteo-metabolic complications in patients with thyroid cancer.
Clinical and Genetic Studies in Familial Non-medullary Thyroid Cancer
Background Researchers are studying types of thyroid cancer that seem to cluster in families. Non-medullary thyroid cancer accounts for the vast majority of all types of thyroid cancer, but little is known about possible genes that may cause the cancer. More research is needed to develop the best ways to …
