Abstract:
Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a common neuroendocrine tumor originated from the paraflicular cells (C cells) of thyroid,cervical lymph nodes and distant organ metastasis may occur at the early stage,and the prognosis is poor.Therefore,it is really meaningful for us to select appropriate diagnostic methods,specific markers and related gene detection methods for early diagnosis,so as to guide the selection of treatment regimens and improve the prognosis for medullary carcinoma.This article reviews the relevant literature and guidelines for the molecular diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma and its related research progress.
