from medullary thyroid cancers (MTC) are uncommon. Their frequency in large autopsy series in patients with thyroid cancers is low, between 0 and 5% [ 1 - 5 ]. Given the rarity of this metastatic location, the outcome remains unclear. The average length

Introduction Several guidelines have already been published on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], but there are no guidelines devoted specifically to RET genetic screening in

Introduction Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare variant of thyroid cancer with different aetiology, presentation, treatment and symptoms compared to the more common differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC). Based on Cancer Research UK (CRUK

Introduction Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) originates from parafollicular C-cells and represents 2% of all thyroid malignancies and 0.4–1.4% of all thyroid nodules ( 1 ). MTC is sporadic in 75–80% of cases or manifests as a hereditary tumor

Introduction Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a malignancy of the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland, and it accounts for an estimated 4% of thyroid cancers [ 1 , 2 ]. MTC can only be cured by surgery and, until recently, the

Introduction Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumor arising from parafollicular or calcitonin-producing C cells that retain the biochemical and pathological features of the cells from which it derives. MTC accounts for 3

Introduction Serum calcitonin (sCT) is a useful biomarker for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and is employed for its diagnosis and follow-up monitoring [ 1 ]. In addition, some guidelines advocate sCT measurements for the differential
