Collecting data on thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal diseases

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather comprehensive data on patients with thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal diseases. Participants will have their medical records reviewed and information entered into a research database at MD Anderson. The study will track the current or suspected illnesses, surgeries, and recoveries of participants over a period of up to 15 years, with follow-up phone calls starting 2-3 years after diagnosis or treatment. This long-term data collection will help researchers better understand these endocrine diseases.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

1. All patients that are being seen at MD Anderson with diagnosed or suspected endocrine disease. Patients will be selected from patients undergoing evaluation and/or treatment in the Endocrine Center, either by selection from a participating Endocrine physician or by screening from study personnel for patients scheduled to be seen in the Endocrine Clinic.
2. In addition, we intend to contact family members of patients who are enrolled on the study, and found to be deceased at follow-up, to request permission to obtain cause of death, to determine whether cause of death may be related to endocrine disease.
