Thyroid Cancer Patients Receiving an Interdisciplinary Team ‐Based Care Approach (ITCA‐ThyCa) Appear to Display Better Outcomes: Program Evaluation Results Indicating a Need for Further Integrated Care and Support

ConclusionData from our program illustrates that hospital resources should not be allocated based on medical trajectory alone and challenges the idea that ThyCa is “straightforward”. ThyCa patients seem to experience symptom distress at a level comparable to – or exceeding – that of general oncological patients despite their promising medical outcomes, indicating that better integrated care and support are in order.
