Abstract
Korean patients who have medullary thyroid carcinoma showed a similar distribution of rearranged during transfection gene mutation with those in Western countries. The American Thyroid Association risk classification was shown to be useful for pheochromocytoma, as well as for medullary thyroid carcinoma. Familial screening for rearranged during transfection mutation and lifelong monitoring for associated pheochromocytoma should be emphasized in hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma.
