Study of inherited risk for thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether thyroid cancer or thyroid lumps can run in families due to inherited (genetic) risk. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk and guide future screening or prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) currently have, or previously had, thyroid cancer or a thyroid lump (nodule)
- If you are an adult, you usually must be from a family with strong signs of inherited thyroid cancer risk
- Your family has had thyroid cancer or thyroid nodules in childhood (under 18)
- Or your family has multiple cases of thyroid cancer, or a known/suspected genetic syndrome
- You can understand the study and agree to take part (informed consent), and you can complete study materials

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who have or may have thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid gland in your neck) or thyroid cancer, as well as family members who may have inherited a higher risk. It aims to better understand and diagnose these thyroid problems.
This study looks at the genes and mutations in thyroid cancers that start in follicular cells. It aims to understand how these changes relate to how aggressive the cancer is.
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with certain types of thyroid cancer. It may help researchers learn more about these cancers and how people are doing over time.
This study looks at how environmental exposures may relate to thyroid cancer. If you have a suspicious thyroid nodule and are planning surgery, your biopsy or surgical tissue may be used to understand risk factors.
This study looks at thyroid cancer and how standard treatments and other health details relate to outcomes. You might be eligible if you have thyroid cancer and can participate by giving informed consent.
This study looks for inherited (family-passed) genetic changes that may raise the risk of lung cancer and related thoracic cancers. It may help people and families understand their genetic risk by collecting health information and sometimes specimens from patients and relatives.
