Over half of thyroid cancer patients may need second surgery, study reveals
NCT ID NCT06439745
Summary
This study looked at whether checking lymph nodes during initial thyroid cancer surgery helps doctors decide the right amount of tissue to remove. Researchers examined 110 patients with small, early-stage thyroid cancer who were scheduled for partial thyroid removal. They found that checking lymph nodes during surgery revealed hidden cancer spread in many patients, which could change the surgical plan and potentially reduce the need for a second operation later.
