Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Single Institute Experience over Three Decades and Risk Factors for Recurrence

CONCLUSION: One of 4 patients undergoing surgery for MTC will recur. Risk factors associated with recurrence are male gender, lateral LN metastasis and high/highest MTC risk level mutations, but not necessarily surgery type. Preoperative calcitonin>2,175 pg/mL is suggestive of advanced disease and should prompt further evaluation.PMID:38651609 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae279
