Thyroid Cancer

Research

The thyroid research group at Mayo Clinic is currently working with more than 30 research protocols. Basic researchers study the genes involved with thyroid tumor development. Researchers also study the epidemiology and risk factors associated with thyroid cancer. Researchers have compiled a database of information collected from more than 3,000 patients who have been treated for thyroid cancer at Mayo Clinic since 1940.
