Summary

This study tests whether injecting a blue dye (mitoxantrone) into the thyroid during robotic surgery helps surgeons remove more cancerous lymph nodes while protecting the parathyroid glands. About 114 adults with papillary thyroid cancer will be randomly assigned to get the dye or not. The goal is to see if the dye reduces accidental removal of parathyroid glands and improves cancer clearance.
