Our faculty Dr. @o_kawkgi shares an excellent deep dive on new data from thyroid on de-escalation in excellent response DTC!

[Omar El Kawkgi, MD @o_kawkgi]

Important prospective data in @ThyroidJournal:

154 DTC patients with excellent response after ≥5 yrs of specialist follow-up were discharged to primary care.

~70 months later: no biochemical or structural recurrences. https://t.co/WwJg1HwoWW

What a class. 💙

We had a wonderful time celebrating our graduating Endocrinology fellows — and of course, no endocrine graduation would be complete without thyroid stuffies. 🦋

Congratulations, graduates! Once UKY Endo, always UKY Endo. 💙
