Conference Description :
This presenter would like to convey to the audience that thyroid cancer is NOT the ‘good’ cancer. Many PCPs tell this to their patients in order to reassure them and provide comfort when faced with the diagnosis. While their intentions are likely good, it sends a message to the patient that they should not be upset by the diagnosis. Thankfully most patients will have an excellent survival. The process of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer does impose a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life and puts them at risk of complications from the therapy.
Conference Objectives are :
As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:
• DISCUSS the epidemiology of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer; and
• OUTLINE the general management principles for thyroid cancer.
You’ll also learn about the following :
• Physical examination of the thyroid gland
• Detection of thyroid nodules by exam
• Thyroid cancer histology and prognosis
• Side effects of thyroid cancer surgery
• Management of metastatic thyroid cancer
• Role of CT scans in thyroid nodule detection and evaluation
• Long-term follow-up of simple cysts of the thyroid
• Evaluation of the multinodular goiter
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
