SNUH Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-induced Hypothyroidism Recovery Trial
The goal of this study is to find out whether hypothyroidism caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can recover after stopping the ICIs. The study also aims to identify factors that can help predict which patients will be able to stop taking thyroid hormone replacement. The main questions the study …
Effects of Thyroidectomy on Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients Suffering From Goiters
Literature regarding effects of goiter on the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains scarce. Reports have described cases of OSA in patients suffering from goiters, resolved after thyroidectomy. It has been recently shown that goiters of a total volume exceeding 25 mL leads to \>30% tracheal compression. The aims …
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Thyroid Hormone Supplementation in Hemodialysis Patients
Hypothyroidism, defined by elevated thyrotropin (TSH) levels, is a common endocrine complication in chronic kidney disease patients, and prior evidence shows that higher TSH levels, even within the normal laboratory range, are strongly associated with impaired quality of life and cardiovascular disease in this population. Levothyroxine is one of the …
Preoperative Lugol's Solution in Graves' Disease and Toxic Nodular Goiter
The purpose of this study is to assess if preoperative treatment with Lugol's solution prior to thyroidectomy can reduce the surgical complications hypoparathyroidism and laryngeal nerve palsy
Study of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules in the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Radioiodine-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
The study aims to observe and investigate the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib capsules in patients with locally advanced or metastatic radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma in the real world, and to summarize the treatment experience in a broad population.
Testing a Web-based Intervention for Radioactive Iodine Symptom Management to Improve Health-related Quality of Life Among Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adult patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer can easily use and benefit from an online tool aimed to provide patients with educational resources and symptom management strategies to improve their quality of life after radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. The main …
Nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation in the Management of T1N0M0 Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
This study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nsPFA in treating papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. T
The Use of 124-I-PET/CT Whole Body and Lesional Dosimetry in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Study rationale High risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) require therapy with 131 I under thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. There are two methods of TSH stimulation endogenous by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) leading to hypothyroidism and exogenous by injection of human recombinant TSH (rhTSH Thyrogen). The appropriate 131-I …
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 …
Artificial Tears to Prevent Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in Patients Treated With Radioactive Iodine for Thyroid Cancer
The association of radioiodine therapy for the treatment of thyroid cancer with nasolacrimal duct obstruction has been well documented in the medical literature. Prior case reports have documented radioactive iodine detection in the tears of patients following radioiodine therapy. It is possible that radioactive uptake by the cells in the …
