CLINICAL THYROIDOLOGY FOR THE PUBLIC
VOLUME 11 ISSUE 9

In this issue, the studies ask the following questions:

• Can we predict the length of treatment-free survival in patients with thyroid cancer?
• Can the TIRADS imaging criteria decrease the number of thyroid nodule biopsies without missing any cancers?
• Can the TIRADS imaging criteria be applied to small thyroid nodules?
• Does the timing of radioactive iodine therapy after surgery affect outcomes in patients with thyroid cancer?
• What are the implications of residual cancer in lymph nodes after surgery for patients with intermediate to high risk thyroid cancer?
  

We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Let us know what you want to see in this publication.
