HRQOL in Thyroid Cancer and Thyroid Tumours
Background: Most patients with thyroid cancer have a long life expectancy, and it has been assumed among health professionals that therefore the quality of life (QOL) is good. Some European studies have shown that the quality of life among thyroid cancers is worse than the general population, and almost as …
Hybrid Endoscopic Hemithyroidectomy and Targeted Ablation for Bilateral Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
This study evaluates a thyroid-function-preserving alternative to routine total thyroidectomy for bilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Eligible adults undergo remote-access gas-less axillo-breast endoscopic hemithyroidectomy with level VI dissection on the dominant side, followed by ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a ≤7 mm contralateral focus during the same anesthesia. Outcomes include …
Evaluation of Levothyroxine Replacement Therapy After Total Thyroidectomy Using a Smart Wristband
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether nighttime heart rate and heart rhythm data collected by a smart wristband can identify under- or over-replacement with levothyroxine before the routine 1-month thyroid function tests in adults who have undergone total thyroidectomy. After total thyroidectomy, patients usually start levothyroxine …
Sacituzumab Govitecan in Metastatic Salivary Gland and Thyroid Cancers (SG-SGTC)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug, sacituzumab govitecan, works to treat: Salivary gland cancers that have spread to other parts of the body or come back after previous treatment, and cannot be removed by surgery A type of thyroid cancer (specifically, differentiated thyroid carcinoma) …
New MRI Biomarkers in Head and Neck Cancers
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic technique that takes pictures of organs of the body. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves that cannot be felt. This makes specific organs, blood vessels, or tumors easier to see. Diffusion MRI lets us measure the motion of water in the tumor. …
Zanzalintinib for the Treatment of Advanced Thyroid Cancer Before Surgery
To look at the effectiveness of zanzalintinib, followed by surgery, in treating advanced thyroid cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
Dual-port Trans-subclavian Thyroid Endoscopic Surgery
This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, non-randomized controlled real-world study aimed at exploring a novel approach to cavity construction for thyroid endoscopic surgery. The study seeks to evaluate its effectiveness and safety while accumulating further evidence-based medical data. Three hundred patients with thyroid tumors were divided into an experimental group …
Hypothyroidism After the TAVI Procedure in Elderly Patients
Aortic stenosis is highly prevalent in advancing age. The prognosis of this disease has dramatically changed with the surgical replacement of the aortic valve and the trans catheter aortic valve re-placement (TAVI). The TAVI procedure is also successful in octogenarians and frail patients. However, the evaluation before the TAVI procedure …
Colchicine for Autoimmune and Subacute Thyroiditis
Thyroiditis includes inflammatory thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis. These conditions may cause thyroid pain, neck tenderness, elevated inflammatory markers, thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, and recurrence. Current management includes observation, symptomatic treatment, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroids. Although corticosteroids may be effective, relapse after tapering and treatment-related adverse …
Dual-Channel Near-Infrared Autofluorescence Imaging and AI Analysis to Locate Parathyroid Glands (PTFinder)
This study tests PTFinder, a dual-camera system that makes parathyroid glands glow on screen by capturing their natural near-infrared autofluorescence. After a thyroid or parathyroid operation, the removed tissue is scanned with PTFinder and then checked again under normal white light. We will measure how fast (seconds) and how accurately …
