Using AI to better understand unclear thyroid biopsy results
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a thyroid biopsy that showed 'atypia of undetermined significance' (Bethesda III).
- You later had surgery to remove the nodule, and the final diagnosis (benign or cancer) was confirmed.
- You have at least one ultrasound image of the nodule that was taken before surgery.

This study uses a special ultrasound method called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to see if it can improve accuracy of diagnosing thyroid cancer. If you have a thyroid nodule and have had certain tests, this trial may help doctors better understand your condition.
This study looks at your thyroid nodule to better understand if it might be cancer. They use your medical history, ultrasound, and special tests to help figure out the risk, which may help you make decisions about treatment.
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) helper that assists doctors in managing thyroid cancer. It aims to see if the tool can improve care for patients like you.
This trial tests whether an AI tool helps pathologists read your tissue samples more accurately. It's a study for people who have had a stomach biopsy or gastric cancer surgery, where digital images of the tissue are available.
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 study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can better find the small markers placed during breast biopsies using ultrasound images. It may help improve how these markers are detected in the future.
