Decision aid for managing suspicious thyroid nodules
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies a decision-support tool to help people make choices about care for thyroid nodules that look indeterminate to cancer on biopsy. It may help you understand options and decide next steps more confidently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thyroid biopsy result that is indeterminate or cancer-like (Bethesda category III, IV, V, or VI)
- Your thyroid nodule measures 2 centimeters or smaller
- You have never had thyroid surgery
- You do not have a past history of thyroid cancer

This study looks at how doctors talk with patients who have a thyroid nodule that may need a biopsy. It aims to improve communication and help patients feel more involved in their care.
This study looks at your thyroid nodule to better understand if it might be cancer. They use your medical history, ultrasound, and special tests to help figure out the risk, which may help you make decisions about treatment.
This trial tests whether taking myo-inositol and selenium supplements can help reduce the risk of thyroid cancer in people with thyroid nodules that are considered 'indeterminate' (TIR3a). The goal is to see if these supplements can prevent the nodules from becoming cancerous.
This study watches low-risk thyroid nodules over time instead of removing them with surgery. It aims to see if careful monitoring is a safe option for people with certain thyroid nodules.
This study is testing whether it is safe to simply monitor (watch closely) a small thyroid nodule that has a certain biopsy result (Bethesda IV) instead of removing it right away. You would not receive a treatment, but would have regular checkups and ultrasounds to see if the nodule changes.
This study looks at how thyroid nodules affect your daily life and feelings after treatment. It compares quality of life in people who had microwave ablation versus those who had thyroid surgery.
