Zapping thyroid cancer with heat: new outpatient treatment tested
NCT ID NCT03416686
Summary
This study is testing whether using radiofrequency (heat energy) can safely shrink or eliminate thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the neck. It involves a small group of 14 patients who have already had standard surgery and radioactive iodine treatment. Doctors use an ultrasound to guide a needle that delivers heat directly to the cancerous lymph node, aiming to destroy it without major surgery.
