Summary: 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

Summary: 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 the surgical bed and closed incision promote accelerated ...

Summary: This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority Phase III clinical trial, aims to compare 68Ga-CTR-FAPI PET-CT-guided surgery to investigator-chosen surgical approaches to evaluate its efficacy in treating newly diagnosed medullary thyroid carcinoma. This study plans to enroll 150 newly diagnosed MTC patients, who will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to the experimental group (s...

Summary: Similarly, the burden of central lymph node metastasis affects the individualized management of patients with T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC): lymph node metastasis is a contraindication to thermal ablation; low-burden lymph node metastasis is suitable for lobectomy; and high-burden lymph node metastasis recommends total thyroidectomy. However, conventional preoperative imaging examinatio...

Summary: Nearly 50,000 thyroidectomies are performed in France each year for benign and malignant pathologies. Each one affects the life of the patient and represents, for some, suffering, symbolized by the stigma of the operation. The consequences of these scars vary according to the patient, their experience and their culture. For example, cervicotomies are particularly badly accepted in Asia since they ...

Background: Many thyroidectomy patients suffer from postoperative pain that could delay early hospital discharge and place a significant burden on both the patient and the healthcare team. Bilateral intermediate cervical plexus block (ICPB) provides good analgesia for neck surgery, including thyroidectomy. However, the duration of a single-shot nerve block is usually short. Therefore, adjuvants are used in pe...

Summary: Persons diagnosed with thyroid cancer are often treated initially with a thyroidectomy, which is followed by ablation using Iodine-131, a therapy which has been shown to be effective and safe. Imaging of metastatic thyroid cancer has been performed with whole body I-131 and Iodine 123 (I-123) imaging for many decades and use I-123 for staging studies. Iodine 124 (I-124) is a radioisotope of iodine...

Summary: The aim of our study is to evaluate the two surgical approaches, standard thyroidectomy and robotic thyroidectomy, in terms of postoperative pain management, scar quality, quality of life, as well as the occurrence of postoperative complications (hypocalcemia, compressive cervical hematoma and nerve stimulation)

Summary: This trial consists of 2 parts, i.e., Part Ia and Ib. The Part Ia is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous dose of af-001 in patients with radically unresectable, recurrent, metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma) refractory to or intolerant of standard-of-care therapy, who have received total thyroidectomy, and to determine th...

Summary: The goal of this observational study is to develop a questionnaire for measuring swallowing and throat discomfort symptoms in patients with goiter or thyroidectomy, which complies with the model of Rasch and which satisfies the fundamental measurement axioms (e.g., unidimensionality, linearity, generalizability). Developing a scale with such characteristics would provide clinicians and researchers...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a superficial cervical plexus block improves quality of recovery after thyroid surgery. Investigators will compare a superficial cervical plexus block with bupivacaine compared to an identical procedure performed saline placebo to see if there is a difference in quality of recovery on the first postoperative day. The main question to answer is: •...

Summary: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, ranking seventh in the United States and fourth in China. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common pathological type (about 85% to 90% of thyroid cancers), and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis can reach 0.6-37.5% at diagnosis. For papillary thyroid cancer with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis, the 2015 ATA Guidel...
