Early calcitonin levels in medullary thyroid carcinoma: Prognostic role in patients without distant metastases at diagnosis

IntroductionCalcitonin is the most specific marker for medullary thyroid carcinoma, thus, low detectable calcitonin values after surgery can conceal persistent disease. The present study aimed to explore the prognostic role of pre-operative and early calcitonin levels in patients without distant met...
