DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2017.3894
Abstract: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) accounts for only approximately 5% of all thyroid cancers but confers a proportionately worse prognosis. In part because medullary thyroid cancer is such a rare malignancy, it has been a challenging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11071
Abstract: It remains unclear when postoperative serum calcitonin levels should be measured in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and, specifically, whether this decision should be based on the preoperative calcitonin level or nodal status. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dc.25020
Abstract: Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor derived from parafollicular or ‘C’ cells with sporadic and familial forms. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a quick way to establish the diagnosis. Sometimes a usual tumor may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00268-020-05473-7
Abstract: It is unknown whether familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) has more aggressive clinical features and a worse prognosis than sporadic non-medullary thyroid cancer (SNMTC). We retrospectively reviewed 2894 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00595-017-1578-7
Abstract: PurposeCalcitonin is the most sensitive tumor marker of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and a calcium stimulation test is used to improve this sensitivity. In Japan, the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) is currently the only test performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11701-019-00930-5
Abstract: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) represents less than 1% of all thyroid cancers. Complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for locoregional disease. Unfortunately, patients with recurrence may present with metastasis to challenging anatomic locations.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12020-021-02892-x
Abstract: The sensitivity of cytology after fine needle aspiration (FNA-cytology) in detecting medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is low. To overcome this problem, measuring calcitonin (CT) in washout fluid of FNA (FNA-CT) has been largely diffused and… read more here.
