To my old self on that first call weekend: You were scared, didn’t know what to do… But trust me, it’ll be okay. Better than you think. Now here I am, on call for the first time as a second year… so proud of how far I’ve come and all I’ve learned. Excited for this year 💪🥲

Our study ja.ma/40IofZe found a ⬆️risk of thyroid cancer diagnosis within the 1 year of GLP-1RA initiation. But here's the catch—patients on GLPs had more thyroid ultrasounds. This suggests the link is due to increased detection rather than the drug causing new cancer🧵

Understanding these associations is key for personalized care, early detection, and targeted interventions in endocrine tumors 🤓
Awesome job @RLopezFanas on his first grand rounds ! Fascinating topic on genotype and phenotype overlap in MEN2A highlighting a very unique case.
