Predicting Outcomes in Sporadic and Hereditary Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma over Two Decades.

CONCLUSIONS: Disease burden during initial surgery, especially gross ETE, lateral neck LN involvement and distant metastases, as well as the biochemical response to surgery appear to be more important than demographic factors in terms of MTC prognosis. These findings highlight the importance of rigorous perioperative assessment to better predict MTC outcomes. PMID: 33108969 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
