Abstract excerpt

Activating point mutations of RET gene have been demonstrated to be causative of the familial form of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), both isolated (FMTC) and associated to other endocrine neoplasia [multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 2A and 2B]. In RET gene mutation carriers, who are prone to developing MTC, prophylactic thyroidectomy is recommended to obtain their definitive cure. The simultaneous excision of...
