Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Currently, molecular genetic diagnostics allow familial types of medullary thyroid carcinoma to be detected at an asymptomatic stage and surgery thus to be performed at a time when prognosis is good. The current report aims to determine the appropriate age for safe prophylactic thyroidectomy in children with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 2A and mutations at codon 609 according to...
