Active Surveillance of Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma
The purpose of this study is to better understand the outcomes of active surveillance (observation) instead of immediate surgery, which is the current standard of care for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Patients with a 1.5 cm or smaller thyroid nodule(s) with papillary thyroid carcinoma will be eligible for the study.
Pembrolizumab in High-risk Thyroid Cancer
This window of opportunity trial is studying a checkpoint inhibitor agent to treat differentiated thyroid cancer in a neoadjuvant setting. A checkpoint inhibitor is a compound aimed at restoring tumor immunosurveillance. The name of this agent is pembrolizumab.
Ultrasound-guided Thyroid Cartilage Plane Block for Awake Intubation
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety of superior laryngeal nerve block through surface injection of local anesthetic solution on the thyroid cartilage in patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The main questions it aims to answer are the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided …
Hemithyroidectomy or Total-Thyroidectomy in 'Low-risk' Thyroid Cancers
This is a multi-centre, randomised, non-inferiority, phase III study in patients with low risk differentiated thyroid cancer. Patients will be identified via oncology multidisciplinary team meetings. There will be two sources of patients in the trial, with the same histological diagnoses and prognosis (i.e. recurrence risk): Group 1: Patients who …
Surufatinib as Neoadjuvant Treatment for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Locally advanced thyroid cancer has a wide range of surgery, large trauma and high local recurrence rate. It is one of the main causes of death in patients with thyroid cancer. Therefore, more effective treatments are urgently needed. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the …
A Randomized Control Trial for Patient Reported Outcomes and Safety in Outpatient Thyroid Lobectomy
To compare same-day discharge and overnight (or longer) observation practices and learn more about the differences in patient preferences, safety outcomes, and economic and resource impact
Compare the Effects of NLSCP and Interactive ICT Supported HAP on Differentiate Diagnosed Thyroid Cancer Patients
Background: Despite the good prognosis of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC), the diagnosis of cancer, fear of cancer recurrence and its side effects might still bring impacts on patients' quality of life and daily function. Purposes: This is a two-phase study. Phase I will aim to examine the current …
Iodine Uptake After a Low Iodine Diet
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the difference in thyroid uptake of a low dose radioactive iodine (10 MBq 123-I or 37 MBq 123-I) in athyreotic patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma before and after a low iodine diet (LID) of 7 days. The main question it aims …
A Prospective Trial Comparing Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA) and Conventional Open Thyroidectomy
To determine if transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a safe and effective procedure compared to traditional open thyroidectomy. Surgical outcomes, patients' satisfaction, voice and swallowing outcomes will be assessed.
Ultrasound-Guided Thyroid Cartilage Plane Block vs Ultrasound-Guided Traditional Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block for Awake Fiberoptic Intubation in Patients With Limited Neck Mobility Undergoing Cervical Spine Fixation
The aim of the work to compare between the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block through surface injection of local anesthetic solution on the thyroid cartilage and ultrasound-guided traditional superior laryngeal nerve block on quality of airway anesthesia for awake fiberoptic intubation in patients with limited neck …
