The aim of this project is to assess the rate of recovery of secondary hypothyroidism in patients with pituitary disorders.
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 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.
This study aims to assess the feasibility of a shared-care model for low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients, primary care practitioners (PCPs) and the tertiary care center utilizing a digital health-based thyroid cancer assessment reminder system (TCARS) in Medable with an expedited referral to specialists for rapid assessment in case …
This is a multi-centre, randomised, non-inferiority, phase III study in patients with low risk differentiated thyroid cancer. Patients will be identified via oncology multidisciplinary team meetings. There will be two sources of patients in the trial, with the same histological diagnoses and prognosis (i.e. recurrence risk): Group 1: Patients who …
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 …
Locally advanced thyroid cancer has a wide range of surgery, large trauma and high local recurrence rate. It is one of the main causes of death in patients with thyroid cancer. Therefore, more effective treatments are urgently needed. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the …
