THYROID CARCINOMA

This early-stage study tests an oral drug called S241656 in adults with advanced cancers that have certain gene changes (KRAS, BRAF, or related mutations). The drug is given alone or with other cancer treatments. The goal is to find safe doses and see if the drug shrinks tumors. …

This study tests a new device that uses very short electrical pulses to destroy small thyroid tumors without cutting into the neck. It is for people with early-stage papillary thyroid cancer (tumors 1.5 cm or smaller) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach is saf…

This study looks at whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (a special type of ultrasound that shows blood flow) can help doctors more accurately tell if a thyroid nodule is cancerous. Researchers will compare two ways of combining standard ultrasound with this special ultrasound to…

This study is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a special radioactive form of iodine called iodine-124. The scan measures how much radioactive iodine the cancer absorbs, which helps doctors decide if standard radioiodine therapy will work. If the scan shows low uptake, doc…

This study looks back at 1,200 patients who had a breathing tube placed during general anesthesia for non-throat surgeries. Researchers want to find out how often throat injuries like hoarseness or sore throat happen, what factors increase the risk, and how patients recover. The …

This study looks at children who received radiation therapy for cancer to see how often they develop thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer. Researchers will track up to 2,550 participants to find risk factors and genetic clues that might predict who is most at risk. The goal is to cr…
