Response to Neoadjuvant Treatment in Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer

Biochemical, Radiological and Pathological Responses to Neoadjuvant Treatment in Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer: A Multicenter Study


Sponsor

Fujian Medical University

Enrollment

120 participants

Start Date

Dec 23, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This multicenter observational study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer, focusing on imaging, biochemical, and pathological responses, as well as short-term surgical outcomes and long-term prognosis.


Eligibility

Min Age: 14 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study evaluates how effective different neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) treatments are for patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer — cancers that have grown into nearby structures in the neck and cannot be fully removed without shrinking first. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 14 or older - You have histologically confirmed thyroid cancer (including differentiated, medullary, poorly differentiated, or anaplastic types) - Your cancer is classified as stage T4 (locally advanced) with or without lymph node involvement - You are in reasonably good health (ECOG 0–2) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has spread to distant organs (metastatic) - Your health status is too poor for treatment - You do not have locally advanced thyroid cancer Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGMultitarget Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

Patients with or without actionable genomic alterations may receive a multikinase inhibitor (e.g., lenvatinib or anlotinib) as neoadjuvant therapy.

DRUGBRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and MEK inhibitor trametinib

Patients with BRAF V600E mutation may receive combination therapy with the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and the MEK inhibitor trametinib.

DRUGRET Inhibitor

Patients with RET fusion may receive a selective RET inhibitor (e.g., selpercatinib).

DRUGPD(L)-1 inhibitor

In selected cases, combination regimens incorporating immunotherapy may be considered.

PROCEDUREBiopsy

While fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is the standard initial diagnostic modality for thyroid nodules, core needle biopsy (CNB) is performed to obtain tissue cores for histological subtyping and molecular profiling in locally advanced cases.

PROCEDURESurgery

Patients considered resectable after neoadjuvant therapy will undergo definitive surgery, as determined by consensus of the multidisciplinary team (MDT).

PROCEDURESurgery

Patients deemed resectable at baseline will undergo immediate surgery based on MDT consensus and informed patient preference.
