Medullary thyroid cancer and the impact of genetic testing.

Clinical journal of oncology nursing - 1 Oct 2006

Keatts Erika L, Itano Joanne

Abstract excerpt

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) consists of a rare, undifferentiated tumor and often is described as having a chronic and indolent disease process. Approximately 5%-10% of all thyroid malignancies are MTC, and about 25% of patients diagnosed with the disease have a genetic form that was inherited through a mutation of the RET proto-oncogene. The mutation is expressed by an autosomal dominant allele and, if...
