Study of environmental factors in thyroid cancer risk
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a thyroid fine-needle biopsy (a needle sample) showing an uncertain or cancer-suggesting result (Bethesda category III, IV, V, or VI)
- You are able to have thyroid surgery as planned
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- You have not been diagnosed with thyroid cancer before

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 at how doctors talk with patients who have a thyroid nodule that may need a biopsy. It aims to improve communication and help patients feel more involved in their care.
This study looks at ways to better estimate the cancer risk of thyroid nodules that are “unclear” on standard testing. It uses information from your clinical history, ultrasound findings, and additional lab/genetic-type features to help sort which nodules are more likely to be cancer.
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.
This trial tests whether it is safe to avoid immediate surgery and instead monitor small thyroid cancers that are considered low-risk. If you join, doctors will check regularly to make sure the cancer does not grow or spread.
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.
