In this episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Yuri Nikiforov, founder of the World Tumor Registry, to explore how this global, open-access whole slide image platform contributes to cancer diagnostics, education, and research.

We talk about how the registry allows pathologists, researchers, and patients to view curated whole-slide images from around the world, starting with thyroid tumors and expanding into other cancers like breast and lung.
