Thyroid: Medullary carcinoma [PDF]
Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, 2013 Medullary thyroid cancers (MTC) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid. In this review, we provide a general overview of the classification, pathology, and clinical management of MTC.

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
