Genomic Predictors of Papillary Microcarcinoma Disease Progression

Description

The study is being done to answer the following question: What are the specific clinical and molecular features that will help us predict which small thyroid cancers are likely to grow and be problematic? Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify specific clinical and molecular characteristics that are predictive of tumor progression in small thyroid cancers.
