First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study aims to find a less invasive way to diagnose thyroid cancer using blood samples instead of traditional needle biopsies. Researchers will analyze tiny particles called extracellular vesicles from the blood and tissue of 250 adults with thyroid nodules or cancer. The goal is to see if these particles can accurately tell the difference between benign nodules and cancer, and help guide treatment decisions.
