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 study looks at thyroid removal surgery for hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease or the heart medication amiodarone. It aims to see how well the surgery works for these patients.
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 tests whether a surgical technique that preserves the thymus during thyroid cancer removal can protect the parathyroid glands, which help control calcium levels. The goal is to reduce complications while still removing the cancer completely.
This study looks at people with multinodular goiter (an enlarged thyroid with multiple lumps) to find out how often cancer is present. The goal is to detect cancer early so patients can avoid more aggressive surgery.
This study collects information from people who have had thyroid surgery to learn more about their health over time. It may help improve care for future patients with thyroid conditions.
This study looks at people newly diagnosed with Graves' disease to see who might develop thyroid eye disease, a condition that can affect the eyes. It aims to find early signs so that treatment can be started sooner.
