Patient Reviews
Jun 06, 2020
Dr. Varma is very, very good. After 3 inconclusive biopsies of the thyroid, he chose to use the (then) new genome sequencing for thyroid cancer probability (Afirma). The Afirma gene expression classifier (GEC) test uses thyroid cells obtained at the time of biopsy to screen for molecular markers (genes) that are associated with thyroid cancer. It's manufacturers claim that that the test can predict which of the indeterminate nodules are likely to be benign (with a 95 % certainty). Dr. Varma does an ultrasound each year to determine if there is growth of the thyroid that may be touching other parts of the neck/throat but in the past 3 years it's been excellent. He is thorough, kind, gentle and smart!
