Could skipping thyroid ultrasound be safe? major study investigates
NCT ID NCT07255482
Summary
This study looks at whether patients who have a small thyroid lump found by chance during a PET scan need a follow-up ultrasound. Researchers are comparing the long-term survival rates of 5,000 people who got an ultrasound within 3 months to those who did not. The goal is to see if skipping the extra scan leads to any meaningful difference in mortality over 7 to 10 years.
