Liquid blood tests to diagnose thyroid nodules or cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a blood “liquid biopsy” can help diagnose thyroid cancer or hard-to-tell thyroid nodules without needing extra procedures. It may help confirm what’s going on before or around planned thyroid surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are planning to have thyroid surgery for thyroid cancer or an unclear (indeterminate) thyroid nodule
- You must be able to give informed consent for the study

This study looks at patient tissue from needle biopsies to see if DNA “methylation” patterns can help diagnose and guide treatment for thyroid nodules. You might benefit by helping improve how these nodules are evaluated, using information from your biopsy sample and medical data.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at thyroid nodules and lumps in the neck. The goal is to tell the difference between harmless lumps and cancer, so you may get a clearer answer without extra procedures.
This trial studies “liquid biopsies,” which are blood tests, to help learn about specific cancers in children. It may help doctors monitor cancer and guide treatment using less invasive tests.
This trial uses a special imaging technique to look at the tiny blood vessels inside thyroid nodules before they are removed. It may help doctors understand which nodules are cancerous.
This study collects blood and may also use existing tumor tissue to help develop a liquid biopsy blood test for people with solid (non-blood) cancers. You may qualify if you have a current cancer with tumor in the body and can provide blood samples at set visits.
This study looks at how a “liquid biopsy,” a test done on blood, may help in people with mature B-cell tumors. It mainly checks whether you can take part and complete the planned study procedures.
