This study tests a procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE) that uses electric pulses to destroy cancer cells in neck lymph nodes that have come back after thyroid cancer surgery. About 85 adults whose thyroid cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck will receive t…

This study tests a new way to read CT and MRI scans, called LN-RADS, to find cancer in lymph nodes. It compares LN-RADS with two older methods (RECIST 1.1 and Node-RADS) to see which is most accurate. The goal is to catch small cancers that current methods often miss, so patients…
