Scientists dive deep into endocrine tumors to unlock molecular secrets

This study enrolls people with endocrine tumors (such as thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, or pancreatic tumors) who are scheduled for surgery or biopsy. Researchers collect samples of the tumor, nearby healthy tissue, blood, and urine to analyze genetic and molecular changes. The goal is to better understand how these tumors develop and to find ways to distinguish benign from malignant growths, which could improve future diagnosis and treatment.
