This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
It is often challenging to tell apart the parathyroid glands from the surrounding area such as lymph nodes, fat and thyroid tissue. If the surgeons are not able to tell where the parathyroid glands are, they might accidentally be removed or damaged. This can lead to complications such as hypocalcemia (low calcium level) requiring treatment and sometimes lead to longer hospital stay. This study is designed to test a new method (a non-invasive hand-held imaging device) to assist surgeons in identifying the parathyroid glands, in order to decrease the rate of post-operative complication.
Early Feasibility Study on Intraoperative Parathyroid Gland (PTG) Identification Using a Hand-Held Imager (HHI)
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
