Incidence of thyroid disease has seen an exponential rise in the past few decades across the globe. Management of thyroid disorders requires an integrated team effort between head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, otolaryngologists, endocrinologists and nuclear medicine physicians.

       This made apparent the need to gather all the luminaries in the field of management of thyroid cancers across the specialties and from across the length and breadth of our country to share their experience and wisdom. The aim is to raise the academic bar at a national level and have an opportunity to interact with experts across the specialties who have made considerable and commendable contribution in the science of thyroid cancer management in our country.
