Medullary thyroid carcinoma. Genetic screening and prophylactic thyroidectomies.

Acta chirurgica Iugoslavica - 1 Jan 2003

Bergant D, Hocevar M

Abstract excerpt

Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare, neuroendocrine, tumor. It arises from parafollicular or C-cells with the ability to produce and secrete different bioactive substances like calcitonin (TC) and CEA (1-5) TC is ideal tumor marker in early diagnosis, in patents' follow up and in evaluation of their treatment. TC determinations after ca/pentagastrine stimulation test give us even more accurate results and the...
