Online Webinar
What do recent research findings mean for people living with BRAF-mutated thyroid cancer? Host and moderator Dr. Camilo Gonzalez-Velazquez will guide a conversation with panelists Dr. Sara Hamidi and Dr. Trisha Cubb about updates presented at ASCO. Together, they will explain overall survival and progression-free survival.
The panel will explore how these outcomes are measured, what studies can and cannot tell patients and how findings may inform treatment and follow-up care. Attendees will also learn questions to ask their care team and have an opportunity to participate in a live Q&A.
This is a co-branded program presented in partnership with THANC and ThyCa.
