Clinical Trial: Preoperative Prediction of Lymph Node Metastasis in T1N0M0 Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma by Using Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound

U.S., Jan. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07357571) titled 'Preoperative Prediction of Lymph Node Metastasis in T1N0M0 Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma by Using Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound' on Dec. 18, 2025.

Brief Summary: Similarly, the burden of central lymph node metastasis affects the individualized management of patients with T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC): lymph node metastasis is a contraindication to thermal ablation; low-burden lymph node metastasis is suitable for lobectomy; and high-burden lymph node metastasis recommends total thyroidectomy. However, conventional preoperative imaging examinations have low efficacy in diagnosing central lymph node metastasis. This multicente...
