Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Azacitidine may help thyroid cancer cells regain the ability to take up iodine. This would allow the cancer to be detected and treated by radioactive iodine. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of azacitidine to restore thyroid function in treating patients who have persistent or metastatic thyroid cancer.
