Clinical presentation and outcomes of medullary thyroid cancer in two European countries: impact of diagnostic strategies
We compared for the first time two MTC cohorts from countries with different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our data contribute to highlighting an association between routine CT measurement and MTC presentation and outcome, while suggesting that caution should be exercised when interpreting the differences among countries in MTC prevalence and clinical features.
