An audit of medullary thyroid carcinoma from a tertiary care hospital in northwest India

ConclusionThis study showed that MTC comprises 3% of thyroid malignancies with a female preponderance. RET mutation-positive patients had a younger age at presentation. Surgery was the first-line therapy. Radiotherapy, TKI, and PRRT were given as a part of second-line or third-line therapy due to persistent disease and/or disease recurrence. The median PFS was better in female patients and in patients who had no residual lesions and stable disease after the primary modality of therapy.
