Abstract excerpt
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) occurs sporadically (sMTC) or as part of the inherited cancer syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2). While the occurence of the MEN 2 syndrome is associated with mutations in the RET protooncogene, the reason for carcinogenesis in sMTC still remains unclear. Ras is a frequently mutated oncogene in a broad spectrum of human tumors and has been found in about 50% of...
