Read our Thyroid Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is building a research database by collecting blood samples and medical information from patients receiving targeted radiation therapy — a treatment that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. Researchers will use this information to better understand how the treatment affects both cancer cells and healthy tissue, and to find ways to improve treatment in the future.
Doctors want to learn more about how targeted radiation therapy works in the body and why it helps some patients more than others. By collecting blood samples and medical data from many patients over time, researchers hope to discover new ways to personalize treatment and improve outcomes for people with these cancers.

You will have blood samples taken before your treatment begins and several times during your treatment cycle. At the same time, your doctors will record standard medical information about your cancer and response to treatment in a research database. For some participants with metastatic thyroid cancer or neuroendocrine tumors, additional blood samples and imaging data may be collected. The study continues as long as you are receiving this treatment at the hospital.
