Thyroid Strategies for Endocrinologists-Red Herrings in Thyroid Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Summary: The first video is a lecture given by Dr. Carol Spencer on pitfalls in thyroid testing and technical interferences that can occur. She discusses different types of interferences and provides examples, emphasizing the importance of investigating interferences in thyroid testing.<br /><br />The second video discusses a study on the relationship between immune checkpoint inhibitors and thyroid dysfunction. It explores the upregulation of T-cells expressing checkpoints in the thyroid and the faster progression of thyroid dysfunction in patients. The study identifies potential causes and notes the improved overall survival in patients with thyroid dysfunction. The video concludes by mentioning the potential for developing novel immunotherapies for advanced endocrine cancer.<br /><br />Credits: The first video is presented by Dr. Carol Spencer, a professor of medicine at the University of Southern California. The second video acknowledges the team involved in the study and mentions funding support.
