Sponsor's own description

Localized thyroid cancer is potentially curable. Before thyroid surgery, an ultrasound test is done to see if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the neck. Excellent for evaluation of the thyroid gland, this test has limitations in evaluating larger anatomic areas, like all groups of lymph nodes in the neck. It has a limited area of coverage making it difficult to define an area of interest, depends on the skill level of the person performing it, and is difficult to exactly reproduce on follow-up. For these reasons, CT is often performed in these patients but without intravenous (IV) contrast since iodine-based contrast agents may saturate the thyroid, limiting the usefulness of other iodine-based diagnostic and treatment options. However, contrast-CT can give more detailed information about tumor spread including spread to lymph nodes. We aim to determine if use of IV contrast agent during CT leads to earlier and more accurate detection of lymph node disease from thyroid cancer.
