Prospective Trial of Unilateral Surgery for Nonhereditary Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma in Patients without Germline RET Mutations

1 Aug 2002

Abstract excerpt

Although sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) tends to be unicentric and confined to one lobe, total thyroidectomy is usually performed because of the risk of a hereditary or bilateral process. Germline RET mutation analysis can discriminate hereditary MTC and truly sporadic, nonhereditary MTC. We analyzed 72 of 94 patients with MTC to establish the genetic nature and the clinical features of nonhereditary...
