Medical management of metastatic medullary thyroid cancer.

Cancer - 1 Nov 2014

Maxwell Jessica E, Sherman Scott K, O'Dorisio Thomas M, Howe James R

Abstract excerpt

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an aggressive form of thyroid cancer that occurs in both heritable and sporadic forms. Discovery that mutations in the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene predispose to familial cases of this disease has allowed for presymptomatic identification of gene carriers and prophylactic surgery to improve the prognosis of these patients. A significant number of patients...
