Better predicting easy thyroid removal through mouth or under chin
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two approaches for thyroid removal surgery—one through the mouth and one under the chin—to find which is easier to perform. It is for people with thyroid nodules or early thyroid cancer that hasn't spread.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thyroid tumor (either cancerous up to 4 cm, or non-cancerous up to 6 cm).
- The cancer has not spread to lymph nodes on the sides of your neck or to other parts of your body.
- You have not had previous neck surgery or radiation therapy.
- Your vocal cords move normally (no fixed vocal cord).
- You can fully extend your neck and open your jaw without significant restriction.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of surgery for a small, low-risk thyroid cancer located in the isthmus (the bridge of the thyroid). One surgery removes only the isthmus and the other removes the entire thyroid, and the study aims to see which is safer and works better for recovery.
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 trial is for people having robotic thyroid surgery (removing all or part of the thyroid with a robot). It aims to create a scoring system to measure how well surgeons perform the procedure. You may be eligible if you have a small thyroid cancer or a benign nodule and want the best cosmetic result.
This trial is for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It compares two surgical approaches: one that removes just the thyroid gland, and another that also removes some lymph nodes in the center of the neck as a preventive measure. The goal is to see if removing these lymph nodes helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
This study tests whether a surgical technique that preserves the thymus during thyroid cancer removal can protect the parathyroid glands, which help control calcium levels. The goal is to reduce complications while still removing the cancer completely.
This study tests a less invasive surgery for early-stage thyroid cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it works well and helps patients recover with less scarring.
