研究组 & 干预措施
patient interviews
We aim to interview 15 patients with confirmed thyroid malignancy both pre- and postoperatively, for a total of 30 interviews. For the expansion of this study, we will accrue 25 patients with biopsy-proven thyroid cancer undergoing thyroidectomy to be educated with the CITSAV application prior to surgery.
干预措施: CITSAV survey (Behavioral)
