New Thyroid Cancer PSA Raises Awareness of Neck Checks, Support Services, Education, and Research

All are invited to support services and research for thyroid cancer—the fastest increasing cancer diagnosis in the U.S. in recent decades 

February 4, 2016 – NEW YORK –Today, on World Cancer Day, non-profit ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc. (ThyCa) is launching a public service announcement and awareness campaign: encourage your loved ones to get a neck check. The campaign, produced by online media personality Tara Johnson, host of Words, Wine and Women (WWW), features all of the hosts of WWW and encourages everyone to get a neck check at their next doctor appointment.
