Natural history study for medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows children and adults with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and/or MEN2 to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It may help doctors plan care in the future by collecting long-term health and lab information, not by giving a new treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) have a confirmed diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or MEN2 (MEN2A or MEN2B).
- Your diagnosis must be confirmed by lab/cancer pathology or an official MEN2 diagnosis.
- You can travel to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) for study visits and tests.
- You or your legal guardian can understand the study and sign the consent form.
- You have a primary care doctor (like an endocrinologist or oncologist) who can coordinate your ongoing care.
