Papillary thyroid carcinoma

This study tests a device that uses nanosecond electrical pulses to destroy small papillary thyroid cancers (up to 1.5 cm) without cutting the skin. Fifteen participants will get the outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The main goal is to check safety and side effects, n…

This study tests whether freezing thyroid tumors with a probe (cryoablation) can safely shrink or eliminate them. It includes people with small papillary thyroid cancers and those with benign nodules. Researchers will track tumor size changes over a year and compare results with …

This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug called Af-001 in people with advanced differentiated thyroid cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The study has two parts: first, to find the safest dose, and second, to see if multiple doses can shrink tumors…

This study compares two surgical approaches for papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the neck: robotic surgery through the armpit versus traditional open surgery. The goal is to see if the robotic method offers similar cancer control and survival rates while…

This study tests whether human-centered nursing care delivered through WeChat can lower emotional distress and improve quality of life for people who are awake during a minimally invasive thyroid cancer treatment called thermal ablation. About 108 adults with papillary thyroid ca…
