Artificial intelligence to predict lymph node spread in thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You were just diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer (the most common type of thyroid cancer).
- You had ultrasound pictures taken of your thyroid and had surgery to remove the thyroid and some lymph nodes.
- Your ultrasound images were clear and showed only one main nodule (not multiple separate areas).
- You do not have any other cancer and you have not had thyroid cancer surgery before this one.

This study uses ultrasound images and a quick genetic test to predict if thyroid cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck. It aims to help doctors plan surgery more accurately.
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 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 uses artificial intelligence to analyze digital images of tumor tissue to see if cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to improve diagnosis for many types of cancer.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict if early-stage lung cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with stage 1 lung cancer.
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict whether stomach cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. By analyzing your CT/MRI scans and biopsy results before surgery, the AI may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
