The coverage includes, but is not limited to, molecular biology and genetics, pathology, clinical presentation, imaging techniques, surgical treatment, and follow-up. The role of calcitonin as a highly sensitive and specific tumor marker for the screening, diagnosis, and follow-up of MTC and metastatic disease is described, and the significance of other tumor markers is also considered. With regard to treatment, the use of thyroidectomy is fully discussed, including in children carrying the mutations in the RET proto-oncogene considered causative for MEN 2. Additionally, the value of tyrosine kinase inhibitors as the most effective treatment modality in patients with a large tumor burden or rapid tumor growth, or both, is explained. Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 will be an ideal source of up-to-date information for a wide range of practitioners, including endocrinologists, oncologists, internal medicine specialists, geneticists, and nuclear medicine physicia | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | Calcitonin; Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma; Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2; Pheochromocytoma; RET prot | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-22542-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-36260-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-22542-5Series ISSN 0080-0015 Series E-ISSN 2197-6767 | | issn_series | 0080-0015 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
