Study of medication risk for rare thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at medical records to see if certain medications might be linked to a rare thyroid cancer (medullary thyroid carcinoma). You don't need to do anything new—just your existing health data will be reviewed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You live in the United States (including Washington, D.C.).
- You have filled at least one prescription for any medication in the past 12 months, and another one in the 2 years before that.
- You have not been diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma (a rare type of thyroid cancer) before the study starts.
- Your year of birth is known (no missing records).

This study follows adults who have medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) to learn how the cancer behaves over time. It may help by improving future care and follow-up strategies for people with MTC.
This trial follows people with medullary thyroid cancer to better understand their experiences. You may join if you have this diagnosis, are 18 or older, and are not taking another experimental drug.
This study follows children and adults with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and/or MEN2 to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It may help doctors plan care in the future by collecting long-term health and lab information, not by giving a new treatment.
This study follows people with medullary thyroid cancer to better understand how the disease changes over time, including in advanced stages. You may help improve future treatment planning and care for people with medullary thyroid cancer.
This trial tests whether removing half the thyroid with nearby lymph nodes is effective for medullary thyroid cancer. Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare type that starts in cells producing calcitonin, a hormone that controls calcium levels.
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.
