Alexis Kalergis comissioned 25.000 doses of immunizations against the metapneumovirus to the United Estates.
In Chile, 40% of the adult population has a thyroid nodule, but most cases have no clinical significance.
Human metapneumovirus is one of the most dangerous viruses in acute respiratory infections and currently has no specific treatment or vaccines to combat it.
"Globally, there are 600,000 cases of thyroid cancer annually. However, there is not one test to predict the aggressiveness of this illness in order to choose more precise treatments according to the patient's profile. After the development of a thyroid cancer diagnostic test - known as Thyrioprint - it was logical to follow up with a second test that could predict with high accuracy the biological behavior of the tumor. Knowing how aggressive the cancer is can change the definitive treatment of the profile of the patient prior to surgery.”
