Surgical advances-nerve monitoring and parathyroid auto florescence as well as netter preop lymph node mapping. Dr. Chen also noted TKIs for more advanced disease #AHNSchat greg randolph AHNS-Endocrine Section AHNS

Really good points

Really important to have f/u with MDs specializing in thyroid cancer so they can review all new options available for recurrences.

We deeply admire all our brave friends at ThyCa!! #AHNSchat

Safe and happy holiday to all!!

welcome to all our ThyCa friends #AHNSchat

#AHNSchat A2. It's worth noting that following a low iodine diet, while not a treatment for thyroid cancer in isolation, is an important and effective strategy for several weeks prior to I-131 therapy since it boosts tumor cell uptake of the radioactive iodine.

A3 to our ThyCa friends- how do you feel on T4. Do you need additional thyroid meds ie T3 ? #AHNSchat AHNS-Endocrine Section ThyCa Inc. greg randolph

#AHNSchat A4. I usually defer the decision re: total or hemithyroidectomy to my brilliant surgery colleagues, although the movement towards more conservative treatment in appropriate low-risk patients has a strong evidence base.

What a great setup Ben! Here is the AHNS link! ahns.info/find-a-physici… #AHNSchat

A1. One small but common issue is that pts don't expect as much of a sore throat - it lasts only 1-2 days, but they are less expecting it. They are more prepped for the more publicized risks of hoarseness, hypoparathyroidism, etc. #AHNSchat

Studies show that early vocal cord Rx w injection medialization may reduce the need for a bigger vocal cord medialization procedure so good to examine the larynx and make the Dx. #AHNSchat #thyroid #thyroidcancer #thyroidectomy #AHNSchat AHNS AHNS-Endocrine Section @ThyCalnc
