ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the amount of iodine in a person's diet might affect thyroid cancer. Researchers want to understand if different levels of iodine in various regions are linked to the types of thyroid cancer people develop, their symptoms, and how well they respond to treatment. The study is currently recruiting participants who have had thyroid surgery for cancer between 2012 and 2019.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between 18 and 65 years old, have lived in the study area for at least five years, and have a confirmed diagnosis of thyroid cancer after surgery. They should also have complete medical records available for review. Participants can expect to be followed for their health outcomes after their surgery, helping doctors understand more about the relationship between iodine levels and thyroid cancer. It's important to note that individuals with other types of cancer or serious health issues, like heart or kidney disease, will not be included in this study.
