Thyroid gland papillary carcinoma

This trial compares a new robotic surgery that removes the thyroid through the mouth (transoral vestibular approach) to the standard open surgery with a neck incision. The study includes 430 adults aged 18–65 with papillary thyroid cancer. The goal is to see if the robotic method…

This study looked at whether playing active video games (exergaming) and following a Mediterranean diet could help people who had their thyroid removed due to cancer. 80 adults were split into four groups: one did exergaming, one followed the diet, one did both, and one had no ex…

This study looked at 332 people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer that had spread to neck lymph nodes. Researchers compared robotic surgery (done through small cuts in the armpit and breast) with traditional open surgery. They wanted to see if the robotic method removes canc…

This early-phase trial tested two drugs, vemurafenib and copanlisib, in 8 people with advanced BRAF-mutant thyroid cancers that had stopped responding to radioiodine therapy. The goal was to see if the combination could make tumors sensitive to radioiodine again and to find the s…

This study tested whether a computer program (deep learning) can predict if papillary thyroid cancer has spread to lymph nodes beyond the first draining node. During surgery, 131 adults with no signs of lymph node spread received injections of two dyes near the tumor. A camera re…

This study tests whether a mushroom supplement called Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can reduce depression in women who have had thyroid cancer surgery. Three hundred participants will take either the supplement or a placebo daily for three months. Researchers will measure change…

This completed study from Minia University looked at 200 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (an inflamed thyroid) who had thyroid surgery. The goal was to see how often thyroid cancer is found by accident when examining the removed tissue. Researchers checked for cancer in pati…

This study examines medical records from over 1,100 adults who had papillary thyroid cancer and were declared cancer-free after initial treatment. Researchers want to identify which patient characteristics—such as age, tumor size, or cancer spread—are linked to a higher chance of…

This pilot study tested whether a rapid lab test called frozen section analysis, done during thyroid surgery, can help surgeons decide how many lymph nodes to remove from the neck. The study included 66 adults with low-risk thyroid cancer and no signs of spread before surgery. Th…

This pilot study tested a tool called CQUPLE, designed to help patients with low-risk thyroid cancer understand their treatment options and avoid overtreatment. Fifty patients were split into two groups: one received the CQUPLE decision aid and question list, while the other got …

This pilot study tested whether routine genetic analysis of thyroid cancer samples could help surgeons decide how much of the thyroid to remove. Only 2 patients were enrolled. The goal was to see if a larger trial is possible, not to change treatment yet.

This study looked at 314 patients with small, early-stage papillary thyroid cancer who had surgery to remove half of the thyroid. During the operation, doctors checked nearby lymph nodes for hidden cancer spread. If cancer was found, the rest of the thyroid was removed in the sam…
