Brief Summary: RATIONALE Finding genetic markers for thyroid cancer in a biopsy specimen may help doctors diagnose thyroid cancer

PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying how well genetic analysis works in diagnosing thyroid cancer in patients with thyroid nodules
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers and mRNA expression analysis using fine-needle aspiration FNA biopsy samples from patients with thyroid nodules
Correlate the level of gene expression with the aggressiveness of differentiated thyroid cancer in FNA biopsy samples

OUTLINE Patients undergo fine-needle aspiration FNA biopsy as part of routine care Additional thyroid tissue is collected during the biopsy for gene expression analysis Patients who have already had a biopsy undergo FNA biopsy during thyroidectomy

Tissue samples will be examined for gene expression by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction PCR real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 400 patients will be accrued for this study
