pubmed:abstractText |
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare endocrine tumor arising from the C-cells of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin is the principal serum tumor marker. A rising calcitonin level after total thyroidectomy for localized disease generally indicates residual, recurrent, or metastatic disease. The role of (18)F-FDG PET in MTC remains somewhat unclear. We reviewed our own experience with (18)F-FDG PET in postthyroidectomy MTC patients with elevated calcitonin.
