Decision aid for medullary thyroid cancer treatment choices
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a patient-and-caregiver decision guide to help you decide when to start or stop a new cancer drug, join a clinical trial, or continue active surveillance. It aims to make tough choices feel clearer and more supported.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and have medullary thyroid cancer (or are a caregiver/family member of someone who does)
- You (or the person you care for) are facing a decision about starting/stopping new drugs, joining a trial, or active surveillance
- You can speak, read, and write in English
- You may be able to join even if you are pregnant
- You don’t have severe thinking or mental health problems that would stop you from using the decision guide (for example, severe mental illness)
