Programs and research
Advanced treatment to get your life back
You play a key role in your treatment. You talk with your doctor about your treatment goals. Together, you choose the best care plan for you. We use minimally invasive surgical techniques, many of which were pioneered by our doctors.
Team-based thyroid clinic
Our Madison-based thyroid clinic provides complete care for cancerous and noncancerous thyroid tumors. The team includes endocrinologists, pathologists, surgeons and nurse practitioners.
When you come to the clinic for the first time, you’ll stay for a half-day. We’ll perform an ultrasound of your thyroid gland and a fine-needle biopsy of any thyroid nodules you have. We provide immediate biopsy results. We discuss treatment options and outline a care plan.
Better care for you through research
We are invested in providing the best possible care. Our doctors and scientists research treatments for all types of endocrine tumors and disorders.
Conditions and treatments
Diagnosis and treatment for all endocrine conditions
At UW Health, we evaluate and treat conditions of the adrenal, parathyroid and thyroid glands. We also diagnose and manage gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors.
To diagnose thyroid conditions, we study cells from a thyroid tumor under a microscope. We use a thin needle to collect the cells. This is called fine-needle aspiration.
