Mapping how thyroid tumors spread and what surgery leaves behind
NCT ID NCT07823439
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Sohag University Hospitals are reviewing the medical records of 30 people treated for papillary thyroid cancer, the most common type of thyroid cancer. The study examines how far tumors extended beyond the thyroid gland and which complications appeared soon after surgery, such as low calcium levels, nerve damage, bleeding, or infection. The goal is to understand local disease patterns and surgical outcomes so doctors can better plan treatment in this region.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the review finds patterns in how far these tumors spread and which surgical complications appear, doctors in the region could refine how they plan thyroid surgery and follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small record review at one hospital, so its patterns may not apply elsewhere. It cannot prove what causes complications or which surgical approach works best.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * All patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma and its variants managed at Sohag University Hospitals. * Confirmation of diagnosis histopathologically. * Availability of sufficient clinical, radiological, operative, and pathological data for analysis. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with other types of thyroid malignancy (e.g., follicular, medullary, or anaplastic carcinoma). * Patients with a history of previous thyroid surgery before presentation to the study setting. * Patients with incomplete essential medical records that prevent confirmation of diagnosis or extraction of main study variables.
