Abstract

The prognosis for patients diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) varies significantly with the timing of detection: the earlier the diagnosis, the higher the likelihood of achieving a complete cure (or at least a better outcome). Ogmen et al. show that the routine measurement of calcitonin in serum could lead to an earlier MTC diagnosis.
