Thyroid: Medullary Carcinoma

Medullary thyroid cancers (MTC) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid. In this review, we provide a general overview of the classification, pathology, and clinical management of MTC. In the latter half, we survey the underlying genetic framework of MTC...
