Inclusion criteria
All patients currently being treated or analyzed for thyroid or parathyroid diseases in the Thyroid Network are eligible to participate in the database.

Consent
Patients will be asked to give their consent before data is added to the database. Patient information leaflets can be requested from the Thyroid Network representative in each of the hospitals.
