Subclavian approach surgery for unilateral thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares a new surgical method for removing thyroid cancer on one side of the neck. The approach goes through an incision near the collarbone, which may lead to less scarring and a faster recovery. It is for people with early-stage papillary thyroid cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests a surgical procedure to remove cancer-affected lymph nodes on the side of the neck in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those with confirmed or suspected spread to these nodes.
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 study looks at how the shape and position of the thymus gland (a small organ in your chest) affects the success of removing your thyroid cancer while protecting nearby glands that control calcium levels. It may help doctors plan better surgeries.
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.
This study compares a specific lymph node surgery plan for people with papillary thyroid cancer on the right side or both sides. It aims to improve outcomes by addressing lymph nodes near the nerve that controls the voice, especially when spread to that area is unlikely.
