Predicting thyroid nodule results with a new test
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thyroid nodule that is at least 1 centimeter in size.
- Your biopsy results were unclear (indeterminate).
- You are scheduled to have surgery on your thyroid.
- You do not have evidence of cancer in the lymph nodes of your neck found on ultrasound.

This study looks at ways to better estimate the cancer risk of thyroid nodules that are “unclear” on standard testing. It uses information from your clinical history, ultrasound findings, and additional lab/genetic-type features to help sort which nodules are more likely to be cancer.
This trial looks at what makes it harder to quickly tell if a thyroid nodule sample is good enough for diagnosis during your biopsy. It may help doctors improve the procedure for people with suspicious nodules.
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 trial tests whether it is safe to avoid immediate surgery and instead monitor small thyroid cancers that are considered low-risk. If you join, doctors will check regularly to make sure the cancer does not grow or spread.
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 trial is testing a new scale to predict if thyroid cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment for you.
