This is a long-term study that follows patients with thyroid conditions—including an underactive thyroid, overactive thyroid, benign thyroid nodules, or thyroid cancer. The researchers will review medical records and follow-up care from patients seen at a specialized Italian hospital, both from the past 30 years and going forward. The goal is to learn which diagnostic tests and treatments work best for different thyroid problems.
Doctors treat thyroid conditions in different ways, and researchers want to understand which approaches lead to the best outcomes for patients. By studying real patient experiences over many years, they hope to improve how thyroid conditions are diagnosed and managed.

If you join, you won't need to do anything extra or visit the hospital more often than your regular appointments. The researchers will simply review your existing medical records and track your routine thyroid care over time—possibly for up to 20 years. No new tests, treatments, or procedures will be added just for the study; researchers will only collect information your doctor already gathers as part of your normal care.
