A research team including Julie Ann Sosa, MD, MA, FACS, Chair of the UCSF Department of Surgery, have published a paper in the journal Thyroid about patient preferences pertaining to surgical options for thyroid cancer. Specifically, the study identifies patient preferences for ascertaining risks and benefits associated with lobectomy vs. total thyroidectomy for low-risk thyroid cancer.
The paper was recommended by faculty at F1000 Prime, a continually updated collection of over 145,000 recommendations of top articles in biology and medicine, contributed by the F1000 Faculty.
