Molecular and Immunohistochemical Profiling of Tumors in Patients With Parathyroid Tumors

Molecular and Immunohistochemical Profiling of Tumor From Patients With Parathyroid Tumors for Evaluation of Targeted Agents


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

310 participants

Start Date

Nov 24, 2015

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This trial studies molecular and immunohistochemical profiling of tumors in patients with parathyroid tumors. Studying molecular and immunohistochemical profiling of tumors may help doctors avoid inconsistencies in diagnosis, unnecessary or incomplete surgery, surgical morbidity, psychological stress, and inadequate follow up.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study examines tumor tissue and blood samples from patients with parathyroid tumors (glands near the thyroid that control calcium levels) to identify the genetic and molecular changes driving these tumors, including both cancerous and non-cancerous types. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with overactive parathyroid glands (primary hyperparathyroidism) and have had surgery or treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center or a partner institution - Your tumor has been classified as parathyroid cancer, an unusual (atypical) parathyroid growth, or a parathyroid adenoma (non-cancerous tumor) - You previously gave consent for your tissue or blood to be used for research - There are no restrictions on age, gender, or ethnicity **You may NOT be eligible if...** - No tissue or blood sample from your case is available for analysis Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
