MTOS 2023 Program
The symposium is a two-day program. The first day of the symposium on Friday, October 27, 2023, is where we will highlight Frontiers in Thyroid Oncology. This session brings together world-renowned experts presenting and discussing the state of the art in Thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment. The second day of the symposium on Saturday, October 28, 2023, will feature a workshop on Advances in Radioactive iodine (RAI) Theranostics, which will provide an in-depth overview of RAI theranostics and address current controversies on RAI imaging, ablation, and approaches for RAI-indifferent cancers
