Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

Clinical Oncology, 2010
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for 5-8% of all thyroid cancers. MTC is mainly sporadic in nature, but an hereditary pattern [multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2)] is present in 20-30% of cases, transmitted as an autosomal-dominant trait due to germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene.

When is medullary thyroid carcinoma “medullary thyroid carcinoma”?

World Journal of Surgery, 1986
AbstractMedullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is thought to develop from the parafollicular or C cells within the thyroid gland and, therefore, should not take up radioactive iodine. Recently, however,131I uptake has been reported in metastases of “medullary carcinoma” and, consequently, some authors have suggested that these tumors can be treated with ...

World Journal of Surgery, 1981
AbstractMedullary carcinoma of the thyroid (MCT) is a rare tumor which, since its identification by Hazard et al. [2] in 1959, has attracted interest for 2 reasons. First, the secretion of the tumor marker, thyrocalcitonin, provides a means of making the diagnosis of MCT before the tumor is clinically evident.

Medullary thyroid carcinoma

Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2003
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine malignancy that occurs in hereditary (25%) and sporadic (75%) clinical settings. MTC is present in all patients with the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes.
