The quality of care has improved considerably over the last decades with the introduction of high quality diagnostic methods, genetic screening, and less invasive surgical options. We aim to better understand the etiology of thyroid disease\/ cancer and to improve the quality of life after diagnosis and treatment by introducing personalized management.
