Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2023 Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) constitutes approximately 5-10% of all thyroid cancers. Although the tumor forms in the thyroid, it doesn't originate from thyroid cells, but from the C cells or parafollicular cells which produce and release a hormone called calcitonin (CT). Starting from the second half of the 1900s, MTC was progressively studied and

Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Surgery, 2004 Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is subdivided into sporadic (75%) and hereditary (25%) forms. Several germline mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are the source of distinct clinical phenotypes in hereditary MTC including familial MTC (FMTC) and multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A (MEN 2A) and 2B (MEN 2B).
