AI-assisted ultrasound for thyroid cancer surgery planning
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether an AI tool can help doctors read your thyroid ultrasound images before surgery. It aims to see if the AI improves how well the surgery is planned, especially for people with thyroid cancer or bothersome benign thyroid nodules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thyroid cancer or a benign thyroid tumor that is pressing on your throat and needs surgery.
- You are planning to have surgery to remove the tumor.
- You have not had any previous neck surgery or radiation to the neck.
- You have not had cancer elsewhere in your body before.
- You do not have an active thyroid hormone problem (like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism).
- You are willing to sign a form saying you understand and agree to be in the study.

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.
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) helper that assists doctors in managing thyroid cancer. It aims to see if the tool can improve care for patients like you.
This study uses a special ultrasound method called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to see if it can improve accuracy of diagnosing thyroid cancer. If you have a thyroid nodule and have had certain tests, this trial may help doctors better understand your condition.
This study tests whether an AI chatbot can help thyroid cancer patients understand their surgery and recovery better. You would use the chatbot before and after your scheduled thyroid surgery to answer questions and learn about what to expect.
This study uses ultrasound images and a quick gene test to predict certain gene changes and cancer spread in people with thyroid cancer. If you are planning to have surgery to remove your thyroid, your ultrasound images and a small tissue sample will be analyzed to help guide treatment.
This study uses artificial intelligence to identify important nerves and glands during endoscopic thyroid surgery by analyzing surgical video recordings. The goal is to help surgeons better protect these structures during surgery and improve patient safety.
