Advances in the management of hereditary medullary thyroid cancer.

Journal of internal medicine - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

This work draws on recent advances during the era of codon-oriented prophylactic surgery for hereditary medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Milestones included identification of RET (REarranged during Transfection) as the susceptibility gene, introduction of prophylactic surgery on evidence of a RET germline mutation, revelation of genotype-phenotype correlations within the MEN 2 spectrum and demonstration of...
