Basal and stimulated calcitonin for the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer: updated thresholds and safety assessment

ConclusionsRefined cut-offs for bCT and casCT in patients with nodular goiter are reported. Sensitive bCT was shown to have a high accuracy, but the combination with casCT data was needed to identify all MTC cases. The reliability and safety of calcium test strongly favour the routine use of CT determination in nodular thyroid disease.
