TCF-UK NEEDS YOUR HELP WITH MTC DATABASE

Thyroid Cancer Forum UK (TCF-UK) is a UK national organisation that facilitates communication between consultants and scientists working in the thyroid cancer field.  It is a free and independent service available to all senior clinicians and scientists involved in the treatment of these diseases.  It promotes awareness of recent advances in thyroid cancer management through the distribution of journal abstracts and national/international meeting details, as well as facilitating discussion between clinicians on clinical problems and potential clinical trials and research projects.  As well as the above facilities for professionals, there is also a website accessible to anyone that provides general information on thyroid cancer as well as links to other information sources (www.thyroid-cancer-forum-uk.org).

TCF-UK has embarked on a national project to collect information on medullary thyroid cancer to aid future research and thus patient care.  This is not a part of the AMEND Research Database but if you have MTC and would like your information to be collected to help this project, please contact your thyroid cancer specialist and/or Dr Laura Moss.  If for some reason your specialist is not a member of TCF-UK, they may not be aware of the project.  Please let them know about it and your willingness to be a part of future research.  Print this news item and take it to your next appointment.
