About this study

The objective of this research is to investigate the clinical outcomes of modified surgical techniques such as omitting the cervical linea alba suture in transthoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy. Furthermore, the study requires the collection of normal thyroid tissues, benign and malignant thyroid tumors, and lymph nodes to further clarify the mechanisms associated with the initiation, progression, metastasis, and recurrence of thyroid cancer.

Read the detailed description

Study Purpose: Background and Significance Trans-axillary and trans-breast endoscopic thyroid surgery is currently the most widely used and recognized minimally invasive cosmetic thyroid surgery method. However, due to its inherent characteristics, this approach still has certain limitations that require further improvement. For example, there have been no studies reporting the short-term and long-term advantages of not suturing the cervical white line during trans-breast endoscopic thyroid surgery. Through theoretical analysis, it is suggested that not suturing the cervical white line during endoscopic thyroid surgery might be safe and feasible in terms of reducing operation time, postoperative pain, and incision complications, but this needs to be further verified.

The mechanisms underlying the occurrence, progression, metastasis, and recurrence of thyroid cancer are still not completely understood, necessitating further basic and clinically relevant research using clinical specimens.

Combining the current research progress domestically and internationally, the purpose of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of improved surgical methods, such as not suturing the cervical white line during trans-axillary and trans-breast endoscopic thyroidectomy. In addition, the study aims to collect normal thyroid tissue, benign and malignant thyroid tumors, and lymph nodes to further elucidate the mechanisms related to the occurrence, progression, metastasis, and recurrence of thyroid cancer.

Study Procedure Before you are enrolled in the study, the doctor will conduct a detailed inquiry and record your medical history. Preoperative evaluations will include thyroid and lymph node ultrasound, neck CT, thyroid function tests, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy. If you meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, you can voluntarily choose to participate in this study and sign an informed consent form. If you agree to participate in this study, you will be assigned a number, and a research file will be created.

This study will be conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, with an estimated 200 voluntary participants. The research will involve collecting medical information data generated during routine clinical diagnosis and treatment, pathological reports, and tissue specimens from the thyroid, thyroid tumors, and lymph nodes obtained during surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative neck edema Incidence rate

    Postoperative neck edema Incidence rate

    Measured: Within one week post-surgery

  2. Postoperative short-term pain

    Record the patient's perception of wound pain on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5 using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain), for quantification.

    Measured: Within one week post-surgery

  3. Thyroid Papillary carcinoma tissue mRNA expression profile

    After extracting total RNA from tissue, it is purified and a cDNA library is constructed. Following library quality control, sequencing is conducted on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using the PE150 mode to obtain tissue mRNA expression data.

    Measured: Within one month after the transcriptome sequencing.

  4. Thyroid papillary carcinoma metastatic lymph node mRNA expression profile

    After extracting total RNA from tissue, it is purified and a cDNA library is constructed. Following library quality control, sequencing is conducted on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using the PE150 mode to obtain tissue mRNA expression data.

    Measured: Within one month after the transcriptome sequencing.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative neck edema Incidence rate (time frame: Within one week post-surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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.
