Development and Application of an AI Chatbot for Perioperative Health Education in Thyroid Cancer Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of a newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for health education in thyroid cancer patients during the period around their surgery (the perioperative period). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the AI chatbot improve …
Selective Coverage Versus Comprehensive Coverage Radiotherapy in Poorly Differentiated and Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer
To explore the efficacy and safety of selective coverage radiotherapy in poorly differentiated and anaplastic thyroid cancer
Safety and Efficacy of Cryoablation for Thyroid Tumors
The goal of this clinical study is to learn if cryoablation works to treat thyroid tumors. It will also learn about the safety of cryoablation for thyroid tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does cryoablation shrink thyroid tumors over time? What side effects or problems do participants …
Safety and Efficacy of NTP in Thyroid Surgery: Pilot Study on Morbidity Prevention and Adjuvant Oncological Control
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of non-thermal plasma (NTP) as an adjuvant treatment for surgical bed decontamination and accelerated tissue repair in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. The study aims to address the following objectives: Does the intraoperative application of NTP to …
Nasal Steam Therapy for Post-extubation Respiratory Events
The effect of symptom improvement of nasal steam strategy compared to routine management strategy for upper respiratory symptoms occurring after endotracheal intubation in patients aged 19 years or older who underwent surgical removal under anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation was evaluated by the difference in the results of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory …
Lesion Dosimetry With Iodine-124 in Metastatic Thyroid Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new diagnostic imaging test, positron emission tomography (PET), with a different radioactive form of iodine called iodine-124. This form is able to accurately measure the amount of radioactive iodine uptake in the cancer. If the new test determines sufficient radioiodine uptake …
F-18 Tetrafluoroborate PET/CT in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
In patients who have undergone surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer and who demonstrate elevated serum Tg and/or ATg levels during follow-up after radioactive iodine therapy, lesion detection is performed using neck ultrasonography, thorax CT, and F-18 FDG PET/CT. Diagnostic whole-body scanning with low-dose I-131 is not routinely recommended in follow-up …
TRAIL Study: Feasibility and Pilot
This is a pilot study to compare two ways of managing newly identified thyroid nodules that are likely to be cancerous based on ultrasound result and which under usual care would undergo immediate biopsy. The main goals of this pilot study are 1) compare anxiety at 6 months in each …
Active Surveillance for Bethesda IV Thyroid Nodules
The traditional surgical approach for Bethesda IV thyroid nodules burdens healthcare systems and patients with costs, perioperative morbidity, and potential long-term consequences of hemithyroidectomy, including hypothyroidism (requiring lifelong thyroid hormone replacement), nerve damage, infection, voice discomfort and postoperative bleeding. Moreover, patient-reported anxiety and reduced quality of life often follow surgery, …
The Safety and Feasibility of Radiofrequency Ablation to Treat Low-risk Thyroid Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to test radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in thyroid cancers ≤2 cm in diameter. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the feasibility of RFA use for low-risk thyroid cancers (≤2 cm)? Participants will undergo a set of pre-procedural scans of …
