Better predicting cancer risk in thyroid nodules
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a thyroid nodule that was biopsied and the result was 'indeterminate' (Bethesda Class III or IV).
- You cannot have any other thyroid nodules that are suspicious or malignant (Bethesda Class V or VI).
- You cannot have cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the neck.
- You cannot have cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new tool (ThyroidPrint) to see if it can accurately predict whether a thyroid nodule with unclear biopsy results is benign or malignant. The goal is to help doctors and patients decide on surgery more confidently.
This study looks at people with multinodular goiter (an enlarged thyroid with multiple lumps) to find out how often cancer is present. The goal is to detect cancer early so patients can avoid more aggressive surgery.
This study looks at how environmental exposures may relate to thyroid cancer. If you have a suspicious thyroid nodule and are planning surgery, your biopsy or surgical tissue may be used to understand risk factors.
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.
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 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to look at ultrasound images and cell samples from thyroid nodules that had an unclear biopsy result. The goal is to see if AI can better tell which nodules are cancerous, helping avoid unnecessary surgery in the future.
