10th Thyroid Cancer International Meeting: Advancing Excellence in Thyroid Oncology

On February 28 and March 1, 2026, São Paulo hosted the 10th edition of the Thyroid Cancer International Meeting, one of Brazil’s leading medical events dedicated to thyroid cancer. The meeting brought together national and international experts at the Sheraton São Paulo WTC Hotel, with a program focused on scientific updates, evidence-based practice, and the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant thyroid tumors.

Since its conception, the event has been supported by LATS, fostering excellent interaction among endocrinologists, surgeons, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals. This collaboration strengthened regional cooperation and contributed to the development of clinical care protocols. The presence of internationally recognized opinion leaders and experts in endocrine oncology reinforced the importance of the meeting within the Latin American medical agenda.
