About this study

Official title: The Risk Stratification of Papillary Thyroid Cancer With Bethesda Category III(AUS/FLUS)by Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration(FNA)Could be Assisted by Tumor Size for Precision Treatment

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment.

Methods:A total of 290 patients who underwent thyroidectomies or thyroid lobectomies from August 2015 to September 2020, following a diagnosis of Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) from preoperative thyroid FNA were investigated.

Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment.

Methods:A total of 1739 cases diagnosed with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by FNA from August 2015 to September 2020 were reviewed, and 523 patients received thyroidectomy or lobectomy. 290 patients were diagnosed with PTC and investigated retrospectively.

Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.as follows:AUS and FLUS\&AUS/FLUS;male and female; tumor size≤1cm and>1cm.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Extra-thyroid extension

    Whether there is extension of the primary tumor outside of the thyroid capsule and invasion into surrounding structures. Analyze the correlation between extrathyroid infiltration and tumor size.

    Measured: from 2015 to 2020

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Multifocality

    thyroid cancer lesions is more than two;analyze the correlation between multifocality and tumor size.

    Measured: from 2015 to 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thyroid Cancer and Atypia of Undetermined Significance, run by Shanghai 10th People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Extra-thyroid extension (time frame: from 2015 to 2020). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Mar 2021.
