Lowering thyroid hormone during radiation to prevent low thyroid
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using treatment to keep thyroid-stimulating signals low during radiation to the thyroid area can help prevent a treatment-related drop in thyroid function in children. It is aimed at kids with certain cancers whose radiation plan includes thyroid tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child with medulloblastoma or Hodgkin/non-Hodgkin lymphoma before radiation planning
- Your radiation plan must include thyroid tissue (the thyroid area is included in the treatment field)
- You have not had primary or secondary hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) before starting the study
- You must be willing to sign consent before any study-specific testing or data collection

This study looks at thyroid cancer in people who had radiation therapy as children, comparing them to people who did not have radiation. The goal is to see how often thyroid cancer develops after childhood radiation.
This study compares two ways of replacing thyroid hormone after radioactive iodine therapy for high-risk thyroid cancer. It aims to find which approach is more effective and better for patients.
This study looks at how radiation therapy for breast cancer might affect the thyroid gland, which helps control your body's energy. By tracking thyroid function before and after treatment, doctors hope to learn how to better monitor and support patients.
This study looks at how much iodine your body absorbs after you follow a low-iodine diet before radioactive iodine treatment (131I) for thyroid cancer. It may help improve how safely and effectively this treatment is planned.
This study tests whether taking thyroid hormone to lower TSH (a hormone that can stimulate thyroid cancer) is necessary for people with very small, low-risk thyroid cancers who choose active surveillance (monitoring instead of immediate surgery). It aims to find out if skipping this treatment is safe and helps avoid side effects.
This trial is testing whether giving radiation therapy after thyroid surgery can help destroy any leftover cancer cells in people with high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer. It is for those who had surgery but some cancer was still left behind.
