Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a malignancy that originates from thyroid parafollicular C cells and accounts for about 5% of thyroid cancers ( Kloos et al . 2009 ). In the majority of cases (i.e., four out of every five), this

Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a malignant tumor originating in parafollicular or C cells of the thyroid. The main secretory product of MTC is calcitonin, a specific and highly sensitive biomarker that is produced by normal

Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumour thought to originate from neural crest parafollicular C-cells. Approximately 25% of MTC cases occur in the context of autosomal dominant multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome

nuclear family ( Amundadottir et al . 2004 ). Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is the third most common thyroid neoplasm (3–10%) after papillary (50–80%) and follicular (10–40%) carcinomas ( Hundahl et al . 1998 , Boyle 2008 , Pacini et al . 2010

, Romei et al . 2016 ). Constitutive activation of RET by specific point mutations gives rise to medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), a tumour of thyroid C-cells, as part of the familial cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia 2 (MEN2), and also occur

Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for 5–10% of all thyroid cancer. Most cases are sporadic but about 25% occur in patients with the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) syndrome ( Brauckhoff et al

Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) derives from thyroid C cells, a neuroendocrine cell that produces calcitonin and represents <1% of all thyroid cells ( Leboulleux et al . 2004 , Matias-Guiu et al . 2004 , Hoff & Hoff 2007 ). MTC

Introduction Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) arises from parafollicular C-cells and comprises 4–10% of all thyroid cancers ( Leboulleux et al . 2004 ). About 75% of cases are sporadic, and 25% are inherited as a component of the multiple
