Sporadic medullary thyroid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinico-pathological and mutational characteristics predicting recurrence

ConclusionT3 and T4 disease, AJCC stage III and IV disease and the presence of nodal disease are associated with recurrent disease. The heterogeneous reporting of recurrence and the lack of individual patient data precludes larger scale meta-analyses. Future research in this area should involve collaboration to establish standardised definitions of disease recurrence.
