Education on managing thyroid nodules

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study provides patients with small, favorable malignant or indeterminate thyroid nodules with information regarding their management options. Participants will complete surveys at enrollment, after their consultation with a surgeon, and a few months post-consultation or surgery to evaluate their satisfaction with the decision-making process. All participants will receive standard care and counseling from their endocrinologist and surgeon throughout the study.
