Neck lymph node removal for papillary thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 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.
This study compares a robotic surgery method using small incisions under the armpit with standard open surgery for papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes on one side of the neck. It aims to see which approach is better for removing cancer and recovery.
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.
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 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.
