Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary goal of the research project is to isolate primary cells from surgically harvested carcinogenic thyroid tissue or metastases to construct patient-derived 2D / 3D tumor models in vitro. The main focus, but not exclusively, lies on advanced, known RI-negative or insufficiently RI-storing tumors. The resection material is obtained during clinically indicated elective surgery (e.g. thyroid or tumor resection or histological verification of metastasis). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objective of the research project is the in-vitro investigation of various drugs and their influence on cell division & -vitality and regulation of NIS expression and function (using RI-uptake experiments) of differentiated thyroid carcinomas using the patient-derived 2D / 3D tumor models. The results are correlated with the clinical course as well as with the molecular pathological properties of the tumors (e.g. BRAF mutation) and histological findings (classification according to WHO). planned pharmaceuticals: - Doxorubicin, - Sorafenib, - Lenvantinib, - Dabrafenib, - Trametinib, - Pazopanib, - Vandetanib, - Roaccutan, - Rosi-/ Pioglitazon, - Cabozantinib, - Selumetinib | — |
