Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is being done to answer the following question: What are the specific clinical and molecular features that will help us predict which small thyroid cancers are likely to grow and be problematic?

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify specific clinical and molecular characteristics that are predictive of tumor progression in small thyroid cancers.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Papillary Microcarcinoma

This clinical trial protocol describes implementation of a prospective observation protocol to standardize data collection and obtain permission to collect samples of PMC tumors in a cohort of PMC patients being followed with active surveillance. This will allow PMC tumors to be accurately classified as either stable or progressive over time and used for comprehensive molecular profiling if surgical removal is required during follow-up

No interventions assigned to this group
