What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the increasing incidence of thyroid cancer and the potential role of environmental risk factors in its etiology and progression. By utilizing exposomics, the study will analyze health-relevant chemical exposures and their metabolic impacts on individuals diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Participants will include adults aged 18 and older who have been categorized as Bethesda III, IV, V, or VI following Fine Needle Aspiration. The study will also collect data and samples from benign tumor patients for future research.
