Clinical trials: Thyroidectomy With Central Lymph Node Dissection
Low-risk Papillary Thyroid Cancer, Endocrine Malignancy
Total Thyroidectomy With and Without Prophylactic Central Neck Lymph Node Dissection in People With Low-risk Papillary Thyroid Cancer
Background: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) often spreads to lymph nodes in the neck. This can be hard to detect. People often have lymph nodes removed anyway, and researchers want to study if this is a good idea.
