THYROID GLAND CARCINOMA

This study is testing a new DNA-based method to determine whether thyroid nodules are cancerous or benign. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 1,450 adults undergoing needle biopsies. The goal is to create a more accurate test that reduces unnecessary surgeries for harml…

This study tests a new imaging method called vibro-acoustography to find and tell apart benign and cancerous thyroid nodules. Researchers will compare this technique to standard ultrasound in 650 people aged 8 and older who are suspected of having thyroid cancer. The goal is to s…

This study aims to find a less invasive way to diagnose thyroid cancer using blood samples instead of traditional biopsies. Researchers will analyze tiny particles called extracellular vesicles from the blood and tissue of 250 adults with suspicious thyroid nodules or known thyro…

This study collects blood and tissue samples from 2000 people—some with cancer, some without—to create a blinded reference set. Researchers will use these samples to evaluate how well new blood tests can detect many types of cancer early. The goal is to improve the accuracy of mu…

This study tests whether a special type of MRI, called hyperpolarized MRI, can predict how well thyroid and head/neck cancers respond to radiation or drug therapy before surgery. About 42 participants will get the special MRI before and after one week of treatment. The goal is to…
