Abstract
Screening for hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) includes both calcitonin stimulation tests and DNA analysis. Positive results of these diagnostic procedures are indicators for the presence of neoplastic C-cell hyperplasia or an asymptomatic MTC. Thyroidectomy and lymphadenectomy of the first compartment are mandatory in both conditions even in young children.
