From Papillary Thyroid Cancer Recurrence to COVID and Surgical Care: How I Plan to Spend My Victory Lap in the Lab
Presenter: Kristina Nicholson, MD (advisor: Dr. Linwah Yip)
While mortality in papillary thyroid cancer is extremely low, predicting patients in whom it will recur is of significant interest.
