First Molecular Test for Thyroid Cancer

Innovation is reducing the need for surgery. Manjula Gupta, PhD, has developed the first blood test to distinguish thyroid cancer from non-cancerous nodules. Currently, this requires needle biopsy, which is not always conclusive and can lead to unnecessary surgeries. The test was developed with Mira Milas, MD, of the Surgery Institute with Endocrinology & Metabolism Institute support.
