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 …
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 …
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 …
The study aims to test if use of autofluorescence imaging (AF) reduces the risk of developing hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) following surgery for thyroid cancer, either total thyroidectomy (TT) or completion hemithyroidectomy (cHT).
Thyroid cancers can occur sporadically, but can also be found as tumors that cluster in families with other cancers or genetic syndromes. Researchers are studying thyroid cancer in children and families, with a particular interest in understanding genes and other factors that may put individuals at risk for developing thyroid …
An epidemiological, observational, multicenter, cross-sectional, retrospective study on patients ≥ 18 years visited in the oncology services of the participating centers with diagnosis of primary thyroid cancer.
The researchers are doing this study to find out if the combination of avutometinib and defactinib is an effective treatment for RAF dimer-driven radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer or anaplastic thyroid cancer. The researchers will also test whether avutometinib and defactinib is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side …
Although most thyroid cancers are treated and cured successfully there are still 30% who recur after many years. This will eventually progress and at this point may become incurable with treatment options including complex and high risk surgery. The overall efficacy of systemic treatment in advanced thyroid cancer has a …
This observational study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of postoperative management in patients with thyroid cancer who received subtotal or total thyroidectomy.
This study is a single-arm intervention study. Locally advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients receive neoadjuvant therapy with Donafenib and PD-1 antibody Sintilimab and those who can undergo surgery after neoadjuvant therapy receive surgical treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Donafenib combined with …
