Active clinical trials for "Thyroid Neoplasms"

This is a single-arm non-interventional prospective observational study to perform quantitative I-131 imaging and patient-specific dosimetry for patients undergoing radioiodine treatment.

This exploratory study investigates how an imaging technique called 68Ga-FAPi-46 PET/CT can determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPi-46) accumulates in normal and cancer tissues in patients with cancer. Because some cancers take up 68Ga-FAPi-46 it can be seen with PET. FAP stands for Fibroblast Activation Protein. FAP is produced by cells that surround tumors (cancer associated fibroblasts). The function of FAP is not well understood but imaging studies have shown that FAP can be detected with FAPI PET/CT. Imaging FAP with FAPI PET/CT may in the future provide additional information about various cancers.

Study the interest of hypnosis techniques by virtual reality based on the use of a virtual reality headset with the AQUA® application on the reduction of pre-operative stress in patients candidates for total thyroidectomy

This study utilizes a multi-institutional registry to describe the natural history of medullary thyroid cancer that has spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) in understanding disease management. The goal of this study is to learn about how medullary thyroid cancer develops and progresses.

To determine the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody Camrelizumab combined with Apatinib for neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced thyroid cancer.

The purpose of this study to learn more about the use of redifferentiating medications as a standard treatment for radioactive iodine/RAI-refractory thyroid cancer. This study is a registry study.

Because one cancer type may harbor various genetic aberrations, it is not enough to check only one or a few genes for a patient to choose the adequate treatment. Because the advance in multiplex genomic testing, several NGS-based cancer-associated genetic panel tests (oncopanel) have been developed and used to identify the genetic alterations, particularly the actionable genes, in each patient. Large scale checks of oncopanel have been executed in US. The study showed the genetic alterations in various cancer types and 11% of the patients had further molecular targeted therapy based on the result of the oncopanel test. Similar program was also conducted in Japan. Moreover, the oncopanel tests have been implicated in their clinical practice and the cost was reimbursed by the government of Japan and Korea recently. Precision medicine and such personalized treatment is the trend of cancer treatment. The trend of such treatment patterns is also observed in Taiwan. The genetic background for cancer treatment may also be different among different areas and races. There is short of genetic alteration data in Taiwanese cancer patients. To understand the landscape of genetic aberrations of cancer in Taiwan, large scale survey of the cancer patients is indicated. investigators propose to evaluate the landscape of genetic aberrations in cancer patients via oncopaenl test and collect the clinical data of the patients. The result of the oncopanel test will be provided to patients and their attending physicians as reference for their further treatment. In addition, investigators want to correlate the clinical outcome with the genetic aberrations of the cancer patients in Taiwan. Thyroid cancers are divided into differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), medullary and anaplastic carcinoma. The majority of the patients are DTC. Different from other cancer type, radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is usually the main treatment for advanced DTC. Multitargeted kinase inhibitors are indicated for advanced DTC refractory to RAI therapy and advanced medullary thyroid cancer. For anaplastic thyroid cancer, the prognosis is poor in spite of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. BRAF or NTRK targeted therapies are suggested if the patients have these genetic aberrations. Thyroid cancer patients have various genetic aberrations, including BRAF, RAS, RET, NTRK and others. Various gene specific kinase inhibitors have been developed and demonstrated the efficacy for the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer in addition to current standard therapies. Thyroid cancer is a cancer type with high percentage of driver gene aberration, however the genetic landscape of thyroid cancer is not well understood in Taiwan. In the current study, investigators want to investigate the genetic aberrations of advanced thyroid cancers by performing the NGS oncopanel.

This study aims to observe and explore the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib combined with penpulimab in the treatment of radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer with first-line resistance to angiogenesis inhibitors, and to summarize the treatment experience of population.

This study is aimed to investigate the metformin effect on the fertility of women treated with 131 I for thyroid cancer

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of organic pollutants in the environment characterized by persistent, bioaccumulation, long-range transport and biological toxicity. Due to its widespread distribution in the environment and Lipophilicity, POPs can bioaccumulate along the food chain and eventually accumulate in the human body. There are many types of POPs, including dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) , polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) . POPs is ubiquitous and Lipophilic in the environment, so the potential harm of POPs to human body has aroused wide concern. A growing number of studies have found that exposure to POPs may be associated with an increased risk of endocrine disease, particularly type 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Persistent organic pollutant exposure on the development ofType 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer by analyzing serum Persistent organic pollutant concentrations in controls, and patients with Type 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer.
