[Prophylactic thyroidectomy in children and young people with hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma: a Chilean experience].

Revista medica de Chile - 1 Sept 2005

Ramos Claudia, Ojeda Dagoberto, Cohn David, Wohllk Nelson

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: With the availability of the RET proto-oncogene genetic testing, it is possible to perform prophylactic total thyroidectomy among carriers of RET mutation. AIM: To evaluate the histological findings and the effects of the prophylactic total thyroidectomy in first-degree relatives of Chilean patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) based on the Ret proto-oncogene analysis.
