Washington Post Feature —Thyroid cancer isn’t ‘good’ cancer!

In a Washington Post feature on September 8, 2015, Robert Smallridge, M.D., of Mayo Clinic Cancer Center in Jacksonville, Florida, says that patients often come to him very worried even though they’ve been told that thyroid cancer is the “good” cancer.

Dr. Smallridge will speak at the 18th International Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Conference October 2-4, 2015, in St Louis, Missouri.
