First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether substances found in urine can help doctors monitor thyroid cancer after treatment. Researchers are collecting urine samples from 103 people who had their thyroid removed and/or radioactive iodine therapy. They are looking for specific proteins in the urine that might show if the cancer is coming back, potentially offering a simpler way to track the disease without frequent blood tests.
