Trial summary

Endoscopic thyroidectomy bilateral areola approach (ETBAA) is one of the most widely applied approach in China, meanwhile its safety and effectiveness has been broadly discussed since being introduced. However, these studies are generally with small sample size and short follow-up duration. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Follow-up Study on the Long-term Treatment Effect and Quality of Life of Thyroid Cancer After Total Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Bilateral Areola Approach

Endoscopic thyroidectomy bilateral areola approach (ETBAA) is one of the most widely applied approach in China, meanwhile its safety and effectiveness has been broadly discussed since being introduced. However, these studies are generally with small sample size and short follow-up duration. The lack of long-term follow-up on oncological outcomes makes it inaccurate to evaluate the effectiveness of ETBAA versus OT. Thus, in this study, we evaluated long-term QoL and outcomes of patients with PTC underwent thyroidectomy via ETBAA versus OT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Bilateral Areola Approach in people with Quality of Life, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

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