Summary

This trial is studying how well a patient decision aid works in supporting decision-making about cancer care for patients with medullary thyroid cancer and their caregivers.

What is being tested?
The study is testing a decision aid designed to help patients and caregivers make informed choices about starting or stopping medications, joining clinical trials, or continuing with active monitoring of medullary thyroid cancer.
