Official title
Isolation and Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles in Patients With Thyroid Nodules and Thyroid Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is being done to help researchers learn more about and successfully diagnose cancer using blood samples and tissue samples from surgeries in patients with suspicious thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer. Diagnosing cancer in this way, as opposed to biopsies, may be less invasive to the patient. Analyzing blood and tissues samples may also help researchers to differentiate non-cancerous tumors from thyroid cancer and detect high-risk mutations to guide treatment.
