Study of lymph node spread in small papillary thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue and blood samples (called a multiomics study) to understand why some small papillary thyroid cancers spread to lymph nodes in the neck. If you join, researchers will analyze your samples and ultrasound images to find patterns that might help predict lymph node spread, which could guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have papillary thyroid cancer (the most common type of thyroid cancer).
- You had surgery to remove your thyroid, and lymph nodes in your neck were also removed during that surgery.
- Your tumor was smaller than 2 centimeters (about the size of a pea).
- Your pathology report (the lab results after surgery) shows how many lymph nodes were removed and how many had cancer.
- You have ultrasound images of your thyroid taken before your surgery.

This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes in the neck during thyroid surgery helps people with papillary thyroid cancer that is 2 to 4 cm. It aims to see if this extra step reduces the chance of cancer coming back.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at ultrasound images and lymph node samples from people with thyroid cancer. The goal is to see if the AI can help predict whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes, which may guide treatment decisions.
This trial compares two types of neck surgery for people with papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes in the neck. The goal is to see if a less extensive lymph node removal works just as well as the standard more extensive surgery.
This study looks at tissue samples from people who had surgery for medullary thyroid cancer to see if certain features can predict whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. This could help doctors better plan treatment and avoid unnecessary surgeries in the future.
This study compares two ways of removing lymph nodes in the central part of the neck during thyroid cancer surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective for patients whose cancer hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes behind a nerve in the neck during thyroid cancer surgery is safe and helpful. It aims to improve treatment for people with papillary thyroid cancer on the right side or both sides.
