Thyroid Carcinoma, Familial Medullary; Mtc

Description

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a malignant tumor of the calcitonin (OMIM )-secreting parafollicular C cells of the thyroid, and occurs sporadically or as a component of the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2 (see {171400})/familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC) syndromes (summary by Abu-Amero et al., 2006). Thyroid cancer derived from follicular epithelial cells is referred to as nonmedullary thyroid cancer and comprises several subtypes; see {188550}.
