Dr. Annette Salillas, who globally represented the country for several years now in Cytology, presented her topic and valuable insights on “Interesting Common and Not-So-Common Variants of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC)” before the participants.
“It is always fulfilling with a sense of commitment in imparting your knowledge and experiences to people who are in the same field. My lecture enabled them to know the criteria in diagnosing the different variants of PTC and to be able to diagnose the common and not-so-common PTC variants with aggressive behavior”, said Dr. Salillas.
Organized by the Thai Society of Cytology, Institute of Pathology, Japan’s Nippon Medical School and Japanese Society of Clinical Cytology, the said workshop was well-attended by almost a hundred Thai-Japanese cytopathologists in Asia.
This MHAM CM product was among the four international speakers and experts in the field of Cytology including one from Australia, Johns Hopkins Hospital-Maryland and National University Hospital-Singapore.
Meanwhile, MHAM CM Thai alumnus and Thailand’s International Academy of Pathology President, Dr. Anant Karalak also graced the event with his topic centered on “Innovation of Cyto-Pathologists Screening”.
