Zhixing Song, M.D., received the Outstanding Trainee Poster Award for his abstract, “Diagnostic Value of Molecular Testing for Evaluating Thyroid Nodules Greater Than 4 Centimeters” at the American Thyroid Association Annual Meeting 2024 held in Chicago, IL.
In his study, Song analyzed patient data from UAB, revealing that while molecular testing is frequently employed to diminish unnecessary thyroid surgeries, a negative result might not definitively exclude malignancy in larger nodules. His research underscores physicians’ need to exercise caution when interpreting molecular test results for these cases.
