Thyroid dysfunction and diabetes mellitus are closely linked. Several studies have
documented the increased prevalence of thyroid disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus …

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), arising from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid,
accounts for 1–2% of thyroid cancers. MTC is frequently aggressive and metastasizes to …

Background The impact of recent medical advances on disease presentation, extent of
operation, and disease-specific survival for patients with medullary thyroid cancer is unclear …

Background The early detection of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) can improve patient
prognosis, because histological stage and patient age at diagnosis are highly relevant …

Thyroid cancer is an increasingly prevalent malignancy throughout the world. Management
guidelines for both thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer have been published and updated by …

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine malignant tumor originating from
parafollicular C-cells producing calcitonin. Most of cases (75%) are sporadic while the …

Purpose The sensitivity of cytology after fine needle aspiration (FNA-cytology) in detecting
medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is low. To overcome this problem, measuring calcitonin …

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine disease, encompassing about 5%
of all thyroid cancers. Due to its peculiar features, this rare tumour offers unique possibilities …

Background: Measurements of both basal (b) calcitonin (CT) and calcium (Ca)-stimulated
CT (Ca-sCT) levels are performed to identify medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) at an early …

Background: Cytopathological evaluation of thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)
specimens can fail to raise preoperative suspicion of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) …
