Thyroid cancer in Graves' disease patients having thyroid surgery
Part of Cancer, Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how often thyroid cancer is found by accident in people with Graves' disease who have their thyroid removed. It helps doctors understand who might be at higher risk so they can plan better care.

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.
This study looks at how the shape and position of the thymus gland (a small organ in your chest) affects the success of removing your thyroid cancer while protecting nearby glands that control calcium levels. It may help doctors plan better surgeries.
This study checks if people with multinodular goiter (a lumpy thyroid) and negative initial biopsy might still have thyroid cancer. It aims to catch cancer early and avoid more aggressive surgery.
This study looks at whether adding radiation therapy after surgery can help people with thyroid cancer that is at high risk of coming back. It includes different types of thyroid cancer, like differentiated and medullary types.
This trial tests whether taking corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medicines) before thyroid surgery is safe and helpful for people with autoimmune thyroid disease. It focuses on Graves’ or Hashimoto’s disease patients who are planning total thyroid removal.
