This year we will have the second edition of our "Symposium on Diagnostic Medicine, Let's Talk About:", which will be focused on the diagnostic approach to the thyroid nodule and thyroid cancer, from different medical-surgical specialties: endocrinology, radiology, head and neck surgery, cytopathology and molecular pathology.

In addition, we will have a clinical-pathological correlation session, in which we will share cases evaluated in our Diagnostic Medicine Laboratory from the "ROSE"(Rapid- On Site- Evaluation) service model, which allows us to immediately assess the lesion through the interaction of endocrinology, imaging and cytopathology services for the delivery of satisfactory, rapid and integrated diagnoses. 

This event will not only be an academic space, but will also allow the meeting of professionals with common interests and will count with the presence of national and international expert speakers in different medical specialties involved in the study of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. 

Our Symposium is free of charge, with prior registration. I want to register 

Location: Laboratorio Clínico Hematológico, Patio Bonito main headquarters, Auditorium, second floor.

Date: Thursday, June 08, 2023.
