An elevated serum calcitonin level is a highly sensitive marker for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) that can be used for screening, differential diagnosis, prognostic assessment, follow-up ...
After basal calcitonin measurement, 5,535 and 216 patients were classified as MTC-negative and MTC-indeterminate, respectively. A total of 66 patients (1.13%) had basal calcitonin levels ≥20 ng/l. Of ...
In individuals with sporadic C-cell disease, the predictive power of raised calcitonin levels to identify occult medullary thyroid cancer increases when sex-specific calcitonin thresholds are used as ...
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in MEN2B syndrome is associated with germline RET mutation. Patients harboring de novo mutations are usually diagnosed at more advanced disease stages. We present a ...
In X-linked hypophosphatemia, phosphate wasting results from increased circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23). 1 Administration of calcitonin to a patient with oncogenic ...
The molecular heterogeneity of calcitonin is one factor that might affect the results of laboratory tests. Measurements of serum calcitonin concentration can vary widely because different assays ...
