Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Prophylactic thyroidectomy can be curative for patients with hereditary medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) caused by RET proto-oncogene mutations. Calcitonin is a sensitive tumor marker used to follow patients. We suggest that thyroglobulin (Tg) levels should also be monitored postoperatively in these patients. METHODS: We reviewed patients with RET mutations who underwent prophylactic thyroidectomy...
