Studies on Tumors of the Thyroid
Studies on Thyroid Nodules and Thyroid Cancer
Sponsor: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Listed as NCT00001160, this observational or N/A phase trial focuses on Follicular Thyroid Cancer and Hurthle Cell Thyroid Cancer and remains actively recruiting participants. Sponsored by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), it has been updated 73 times since 1977, reflecting substantial change activity. This study contributes to the evolving evidence base for cancer treatment protocols.
Study Description(click to expand)The purpose of this study is to gain knowledge and experience in the diagnosis and therapy of thyroid cancer using established best standard of care and new techniques and approaches as they are developed. Study subjects will include adults and children with thyroid nodules requiring diagnostic imaging and fine needle aspiration biopsy, surgery, radioiodine scanning or therapy, appropriate follow up, consisting of tumor markers monitoring and anatomical and functional imaging. The limitations and significance of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement for diagnosing tumor recurrence will be assessed. The study will permit a continued evaluation of the risk/benefit ratio of already established methods of administering radioiodine therapy, including the impact of pre-treatment dosimetric calculations, individualizing treatment with radioiodine. Under this protocol, samples of benign nodules and cancer tissue specimens for research studies will be collected. Data and samples collected during routine clinical care will be used to address research questions utilizing a number of approaches including microscopy, immunohistochemistry, proteomics and molecular analysis. All research studies will relate to the diagnosis, natural history and therapy of thyroid tumors, regulation of thyroid function, and the effects of thyroid function on the body. Blood and urine specimens will be collected for research studies in both...
