Pregnancy leads to many physiologic changes, and thyroid and parathyroid disorders alter that physiology even more leading to complex laboratory interpretation and decision-making impacting both mother and fetus. In this episode, join endocrine surgeons Drs. Barb Miller, John Phay, Priya Dedhia, and Surgical Oncology Fellow Dr. Vennila Padmanaban from The Ohio State University. Hear about normal and abnormal thyroid and parathyroid physiology and treatment of patients with thyroid cancer. The group discusses several articles focusing on current guidelines from the American Thyroid Association as well as other key studies.

Hosts: Barbra S. Miller, MD (Moderator), Clinical Professor of Surgery, John Phay, MD, Clinical Professor of Surgery, Priya H. Dedhia, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Vennila Padmanaban, MD, Surgical Oncology Fellow, Division of Surgical Oncology, Department of Surgery, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio.
