Scientists dive deep into endocrine tumors to unlock molecular secrets
NCT ID NCT01005654
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help doctors better tell apart benign from malignant endocrine tumors, leading to more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It collects data and samples but does not test a new therapy, so direct patient benefits may take years to emerge.
