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.
Thyroid surgery has always been the mainstay of treatment for thyroid cancer. Thyroid surgery carries a low risk of complications that include recurrent or superior laryngeal nerve injury leading to voice changes, hypoparathyroidism, hypothyroidism with need for thyroid hormone supplementation, and unsightly scarring. Although many patients with thyroid cancer find …
This is a prospective cohort study to test Minimally Invasive Treatments of the Thyroid (MITT) as potential alternative to surgery in patients with Papillary Thyroid MicroCarcinoma (PTMC)
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.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the neurological and cardiological phenotype of patients with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) syndromes beta and alpha (RTHß and RTHa) due to dominant negative variants in the genes encoding the thyroid hormone receptors alpha (THRA) and beta (THRB). The main …
The goal of this observational study is to learn if radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a minimally invasive thermoablation technique, can safely reduce symptoms and improve quality of life in adults with symptomatic benign thyroid nodules or autonomously functioning thyroid nodules. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does RFA improve …
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided thyroid cartilage plane approach with the superior laryngeal nerve space approach for superior laryngeal nerve block in awake tracheal intubation. Patients were randomized into the thyroid cartilage plane block group (T group) or the superior …
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
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of linsitinib in participants with moderate to severe Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).
This study aims to compare acute thyroid hormone and cortisol responses to aerobic and anaerobic exercise in sedentary women. Thirty sedentary women aged 18-25 years will voluntarily participate in the study. Participants will complete a 20-meter shuttle run test as the aerobic exercise protocol and a 30-second Wingate test as …
