Thyroid Surgery and Environmental Chemical Exposure Study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study measures levels of chlordecone (an old pesticide) in patients undergoing thyroid surgery at Guadeloupe University Hospital. Researchers want to understand if and how this chemical accumulates in the body, which may help protect public health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 whether certain chemicals in the environment might be linked to breast cancer. Researchers will test tissue and blood samples to find biological clues (biomarkers) related to this exposure. If you are scheduled for breast lesion removal, you may be able to join.
