Detection rate of FNA cytology in medullary thyroid carcinoma. a meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Background: The early detection of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) can improve patient prognosis, because histological stage and patient age at diagnosis are highly relevant prognostic factors. As a consequence, delay in the diagnosis and/or incomplete

A Case of F-18 FDG PET-CT Detection of Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis of Ovarican Cancer [PDF]
Kosin Medical Journal, 2012 Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is derived from the parafollicular or C-cells. As surgical resection is the only curative therapy for MTC, the early diagnosis is important for the patient's survival.

The HABP2 G534E polymorphism does not increase nonmedullary thyroid cancer risk in Hispanics. [PDF]
, 2016 Familial nonmedullary thyroid cancer (NMTC) has not been clearly linked to causal germline variants, despite the large role that genetic factors play in risk. Recently, HABP2 G534E (rs7080536A) has been implicated as a causal variant in NMTC.

Prognostic Impact of miR-224 and RAS Mutations in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma [PDF]
, 2017 Little is known about the function of microRNA-224 (miR-224) in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). This study investigated the role of miR-224 expression in MTC and correlated it with mutation status in sporadic MTCs.

A decrease of calcitonin serum concentrations less than 50 percent 30 minutes after thyroid surgery suggests incomplete C-cell tumor tissue removal [PDF]
, 2010 The prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) depends on the completeness of the first surgical treatment. To date, it is not possible to predict whether the tumor has been completely removed after surgery.

Medullary Thyroid Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Control, 1997 BackgroundMedullary thyroid cancer, a tumor of the parafollicular C cells, accounts for approximately 10% of all thyroid malignancies. An estimated 75% of cases are sporadic, and the remaining 25% are familial.MethodsThe author reviews the clinical features and diagnostic tests for this entity, as well as the surgical treatment of recurrent or ...
