Parathyroid tumor genetics study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the genetic makeup of parathyroid tumors in people with hyperparathyroidism. It aims to understand why these tumors form and how they behave, which could help improve treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are age 18 or older.
- You have not had radiation to your neck or face in the past.

This study looks at blood and/or tissue samples from people with parathyroid problems to better understand different types of parathyroid tumors. It does not test a new medicine—instead, researchers analyze samples to learn what makes each tumor type different.
This is an observational study that follows people who have or may develop parathyroid-related conditions. The goal is to better understand how these problems change over time and what patterns show up, which can help improve future care.
This study follows adults with primary hyperparathyroidism (a hormone-related condition that affects calcium levels). It aims to better understand the condition and who it affects, which may help improve care over time.
This study wants to see if measuring parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels during surgery helps guide how much parathyroid tissue to remove. It is for people who need surgery for hyperparathyroidism caused by kidney disease.
This study tests two advanced imaging techniques (PET/MR and PET/CT) to find overactive parathyroid glands or tumors that need surgery. Participants get a special scan before surgery to help surgeons locate the problem more accurately.
This trial tests a special PET scan to better locate overactive parathyroid glands before surgery. It may help guide treatment for people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
