First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 03, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study compares a newer robotic surgery done through the armpit to standard open neck surgery for people with papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the side of the neck. The goal is to see if the robotic method is as safe and effective at controlling cancer long-term, while also improving quality of life by avoiding a visible neck scar. About 876 adults aged 18 to 70 with small thyroid tumors and confirmed lymph node spread will take part.
