Thyroid cancer classification and risk study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how thyroid nodule biopsy results (Bethesda classification) relate to the final diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer, to help predict risk and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have had a fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAC) of your thyroid before surgery.
- After surgery, your cancer must be confirmed as differentiated thyroid cancer (the most common type).
- You cannot have poorly differentiated, anaplastic, or medullary thyroid cancer.
- Your biopsy must have been diagnostic (not Bethesda category I).
- You must have sufficient follow-up data available for the study.

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 looks at how doctors and patients can decide together on the best way to treat low-risk thyroid cancer. It aims to help you choose a treatment that fits your values and needs, while keeping your cancer under control.
This study tests a decision aid to help people with low-risk thyroid cancer or suspicious nodules make informed choices about their care. It may help you understand your options and feel more confident in your decisions.
This study looks at how environmental exposures may relate to thyroid cancer. If you have a suspicious thyroid nodule and are planning surgery, your biopsy or surgical tissue may be used to understand risk factors.
This study looks at different types of thyroid tumors to find new factors that might help predict how the disease will progress or respond to treatment. If you have been diagnosed with a thyroid tumor, you may be able to join.
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.
