Doctors at the National Institutes of Health are conducting a research study for thyroid cancer. Researchers are using a novel imaging technique called 68Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT, which has been proven safe and effective in patients with other tumors – neuroendocrine tumors.

Study Details:

  • You will have a medical interview, physical exam, standard imaging for thyroid cancer
  • Study related tests and standard of care for thyroid cancer is provided at no cost
  • Study takes place at the NIH Clinical Center, America’s Research Hospital in Bethesda, MD, on the Metro red line (Medical Center stop)

Participation Requirements:

  • Adults with known thyroid cancer that spread outside the thyroid and does not respond to radioactive iodine treatment
  • Patient may not participate if they have serious underlying medical conditions that restrict diagnostic testing or therapy such as renal failure, congestive cardiac failure or active coexisting non-thyroid carcinoma
