Elevated basal serum levels of calcitonin and simultaneous surgery of MEN2A-specific tumors

2020-09-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) is a rare syndrome caused almost by germline RET mutation, and characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in combination or not with pheochromocytoma (PHEO), hyperparathyroidism (HPTH), cutaneous lichen amyloidosis (CLA) and Hirschsprung’s disease (HD). The basal serum calcitonin (Ctn)/carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels are significantl...
