U.S., Aug. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07124065) titled 'Differentiation of Benign From Malignant Thyroid Nodules Using Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy' on Aug. 08.
Brief Summary: Patients with thyroid nodules are currently investigated with ultrasound with or without biopsy. Despite these investigations, a subset of patients remain "indeterminate" whereby a cancer can neither be diagnosed nor ruled out - these patients will usually be recommended to undergo diagnostic surgery. This study aims to assess a new technique called diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to determine if this can differentiate between benign and cancerous nodules, particularly in these indeterminate cases.
