Patient Events

In addition to connecting with other thyroid cancer patients and survivors on the Internet, you may want to check out a meeting or seminar near you to catch up on the latest news or connect with others in person.

The ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors website maintains a list of some of the larger meetings.

Alternatively, you can check with your local hospital or your doctor to see if they host or know of smaller meetings in your area.

Safety Information
Thyrogen® (thyrotropin alfa for injection) is used in combination with other tests to detect recurring or leftover thyroid cancer cells in patients with a history of certain types of thyroid cancer. Thyrogen is injected in a muscle, and is available only by prescription. The most common side effects reported in clinical studies were nausea, headache, weakness & vomiting. When using Thyrogen, there is a risk that thyroid cancer cells may not be detected and diagnosis of recurring cancer may be missed. If you think that Thyrogen may be right for you, or if you have any problems with the use of Thyrogen, please contact your doctor. To learn more, please see full product information (PDF), contact Genzyme toll free at 1-88-THYROGEN (1-888-497-6436).
