pubmed:abstractText |
The fate of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia of type II A (MEN II A) is determined by medullary thyroid carcinoma, which occurs in all cases. This has led to the therapeutic concept of prophylactic thyroidectomy in affected family members with the goal of removing the thyroid before the manifestation of carcinoma. We investigated a prophylactically thyroidectomized MEN II A population to determine whether the highly specific and sensitive tumor marker calcitonin correlates with tumor spread.
