2022 Year in Review
A time of unprecedented adversity brought us together as a community, and we rose to face the challenge. In looking back on 2022, it’s clear that our collective resilience was bigger than any obstacle thrown in front of us. Despite this, we emerged stronger—united by purpose and propelled forward with shared spirit.
Community & Partnership
We made great strides in our mission to better the lives of many, with our three-pronged approach that advances research and educates physicians, while providing invaluable support for patients and their families. In 2022 alone we achieved tremendous success—touching more lives than ever before, creating an enormous volume of impactful information. Something we are immensely proud to share!

TIRO Has Grown
Last year, we launched our newest project: TIRO, the Thyroid Int’l Recommendations Online and our weekly educational webinar series.
TIRO is your go-to source for understanding thyroid healthcare. By comparing the international guidelines, white papers and recommendations related to cancer and nodules, we help identify where there’s common ground—or disagreement! With TIRO in your corner you’re sure to have clarity on current best practices.
TIRO Hosts a Webinar Every Friday!
TIRO—supplemented by our weekly webinars (TIROxMDS)—offers physicians a wealth of expertise on modern medical topics through engaging journal clubs, lectures, tumor boards and round table discussions. Spearheaded by an enthusiastic team of international thyroid specialists with extensive experience in the field, TIRO is dedicated to improving healthcare for those living with these diseases. So everyone can be well-informed about their condition.
Making the Cancer Journey Smoother
We’re driven by our mission to give families affected by thyroid, head and neck cancer the information they need. This year, we achieved this with content on the THANC Guide that parents can share with their children for support in understanding diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
