Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is currently done by genetic analysis. These techniques have replaced calcitonin stimulation testing, which was previously used for this purpose. Some studies suggest a relationship between MTC spread and calcitonin levels. The aim of this study was to assess whether the tumor burden of MTC associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type...
