## BACKGROUND. The aim of this study was to identify better prognostic parameters for normalization of serum calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients. ## METHODS. In 73 patients who had undergone systematic lymph node dissection for MTC between September 1995 and November 1998, pr
## BACKGROUND. It remains controversial whether modified radical neck dissection (MRND) for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma improves prognosis. However, it is highly probable that the incidence of local recurrence is reduced by lymph node dissection. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy (SLN
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an uncommon tumour of calcitonin-secreting C-cells of the thyroid gland. This cancer represents an important potential model for the study of mechanisms of human epithelial cell transformation. Although recent studies have identified the gene involved in familial
