Application of fluorescence in surgical management of thyroid cancer
09-12, 07:30–08:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Head & Neck Oncology 1

<p>Description:</p> <p>With hypoparathyroidism as the main complication after thyroidectomy, new tools are essential to help identify and preserve parathyroid glands and function during thyroidectomy. Parathyroid autofluorescence tools are most relevant and very useful both with and without indocyanine green to reduce postoperative hypoparathyroidism. Accordingly, we have currents ongoing RCTs on different aspects of fluorescence in thyroid cancer operations and suggest this topic addressed in the conference.</p> <p>Outcome Objectives:</p> <p>We suggest a state-of-art review of current evidence and standards in clinical use and practice of fluorescence in thyroid cancer operations. Data will be from both own and International operations/publications.</p> <p>Background for Lars Rolighed: More than 60 publications regarding thyroid and parathyroid diseases. Recent publications on clinical use of parathyroid autofluorescence in both benign and malignant thyroid operations.</p>
<p>We would like to suggest a Keynote Lecture at the IFOS 2026 focusing on current surgical management of patients with thyroid cancer. We suggest a 30 min lecture divided in 2 talks each lasting approximately 10 minutes + 5 minutes for questions/discussion.</p> <p>1. Parathyroid autofluorescence to identify and preserve parathyroid glands in thyroid cancer operations.</p> <p>2. Fluorescence with indocyanine green to identify parathyroid vascular supply and evaluate vitality in thyroid cancer operations.</p>

<p>I am currently responsible for treatment and research in thyroid and parathyroid operations at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. With an annual production of 900-1000 operations in the Department, all different aspects of these procedures are performed with a high level of experience and quality. This includes 5 current ongoing PhD studies in different aspect of thyroid and parathyroid procedures.</p>
