Clinical Trial: Leptin Levels in Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Assessment of Serum Leptin Levels in Females With Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma, Benign Thyroid Nodules, and Normal Controls

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate Leptin levels in females, in the setting of papillary thyroid cancer, benign thyroid nodules, and in normal females without thyroid disease.

Detailed Summary: There will be three groups in this study, but 2 of the groups are part of another study so will only recruit normal controls.
Sponsor: University of Nebraska

Current Primary Outcome: evaluating Leptin level Evaluating Serum Leptin Levels Between 3 Groups. One Group with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. One Group With Benign Nodules. One Group with Normal Thyroid. [ Time Frame: During Study ]

Assessing serum leptin levels in females with treated papillary thyroid carcinoma and compared to females with proven benign thyroid nodules and females with normal thyroid glands. All groups were matched by gender, age, and BMI to limit confounders.
