NCT ID NCT05726981
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study follows 180 people who had a benign thyroid nodule treated with radiofrequency heat ablation three years ago. Researchers will use ultrasound and a fine-needle biopsy to see how the nodule looks and whether any cells have changed. The goal is to create a new guide for doctors to better interpret these images and avoid missing cancer.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could create a new way to check thyroid nodules after heat treatment, making follow-up care more accurate and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory study with no treatment being tested, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all patients or nodules.
