This study is looking into why some thyroid cancers (cancers of a gland in your neck that makes hormones) and thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid) run in families. Researchers want to understand the genes and other factors that might increase your risk. If you have a history of thyroid cancer or nodules as a child, or if your family has a strong history of thyroid cancer, you might be able to join. The study involves collecting your family and medical history, and a blood or saliva sample for genetic testing. The main goals are to count how many participants have childhood or suspected family-related thyroid issues and to find specific gene changes linked to thyroid cancer risk. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 250 participants. It is designed to investigate hereditary risk factors for thyroid cancer.

What's involved

You would provide family and medical history information, along with a blood or saliva sample for genetic studies. If needed, you might be referred to a genetic counselor.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary outcomes of the study will be measured at 2 years.
