Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Individuals (at University of Nebraska Medical Center)were selected from a thyroid tumor and cancer collaborative registry (TCCR), database & biospecimen bank, started March 2008. We achieved a sample size of 111 subjects with 24 patients with active thyroid cancer, 45 patients with thyroid cancer in remission and 42 patients with thyroid nodules.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Individuals who had agreed to participate in the TCCR and who had also given a blood sample were included in sequential order.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
The trial limitations include that it was mostly done on Caucasian subjects; the controls were those with thyroid nodules not subjects without any thyroid disease; the sample size was small; & a small number of Vit D assays used different methods.
