The group does this through the collaborative efforts of a multidisciplinary team of endocrinologists, surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, basic scientists, and advocates by designing, coordinating, and prioritizing state-of-the-art clinical trials and correlative science studies.The organization grew out of a need for novel treatments in advanced thyroid cancer and was ultimately inspired by thyroid cancer patients such as Ms. Jean Vicks—a mother, a coach, and an avid outdoor enthusiast. After the initial meeting in 2003, the organization's inception was formalized at an inaugural meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2006. The founding members included Drs. Robert Gagel, Samuel Wells, Jr., and Steven Sherman and Mr. Dwight Vicks. Since then, ITOG's membership has grown to include prominent scientists and leading clinicians in the field of thyroid cancer.Currently, ITOG's membership includes 132 leading physicians, scientists, and advocates from 16 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. ITOG is organized into 12 committees and 7 task forces that work toward the common goal of finding new therapies for thyroid cancer, training the next generation of clinicians and scientists, and raising public awareness about the importance of thyroid cancer research.Through the tireless efforts and commitment of its members and advocates, ITOG has successfully completed seven clinical trials (Table 1).
